A shockwave-based speed harmonization algorithm for the longitudinal movement of automated vehicles is presented in this paper. In the advent of Connected/Automated Vehicle (C/AV) environment, the proposed algorithm can be applied to capture instantaneous shockwaves constructed from vehicular speed profiles shared by individual equipped vehicles. With a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method, the algorithm detects abnormal speed drops in real-time and optimizes speed to prevent the shockwave propagating to the upstream traffic. A traffic simulation model is calibrated to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Based on 100% C/AV market penetration, the simulation results show that the CWT-based algorithm accurately detects abnormal speed drops. With the improved accuracy of abnormal speed drop detection, the simulation results also demonstrate that the congestion can be mitigated by reducing travel time and delay up to approximately 9% and 18%, respectively. It is also found that the shockwave caused by nonrecurrent congestion is quickly dissipated even with low market penetration.

Considering the problem of EBPSK signal demodulation, a new approach based on the wavelet scalogram using continuous wavelet transform is proposed. Our system is twofold: an adaptive wavelet construction method that replaces manual selection existing wavelets method and, on the other hand, a nonlinear demodulation system based on image processing and pattern classification is proposed. To evaluate the performance of the adaptive wavelet and compare the performance of the proposed system with the existing systems, a series of comprehensive simulation experiments is conducted under the environment of uniform white noise, colored noise, and additive white Gaussian noise channel, respectively. Simulation results of different wavelets show that the system using adaptive wavelet has lower bit error rate (BER). Moreover, simulation results of several systems show that the BER of the proposed system is the lowest among all systems, such as amplitude detection, integral detection, and some continuous wavelet transform systems (specific scales and times and maximum lines). In a word, the adaptive wavelet construction proposed in this paper yields superior performances compared with the manual selection, and the proposed system has better performances than the existing systems. Index terms are signal demodulation, adaptive wavelet, continuous wavelet transform, and BER.

We define a testing function space DL2(Rn) consisting of a class of C∞ functions defined on Rn, n≥1 whose every derivtive is L2(Rn) integrable and equip it with a topology generated by a separating collection of seminorms {γk}|k|=0∞ on DL2(Rn), where |k|=0,1,2,… and γk(ϕ)=∥ϕ(k)∥2,ϕ∈DL2(Rn). We then extend the continuous wavelet transform to distributions in DL2′(Rn), n≥1 and derive the corresponding wavelet inversion formula interpreting convergence in the weak distributional sense. The kernel of our wavelet transform is defined by an element ψ(x) of DL2(Rn)∩DL1(Rn), n≥1 which, when integrated along each of the real axes X1,X2,…Xn vanishes, but none of its moments ∫Rnxmψ(x)dx is zero; here xm=x1m1x2m2⋯xnmn, dx=dx1dx2⋯dxn and m=(m1,m2,…mn) and each of m1,m2,…mn is ≥1. The set of such wavelets will be denoted by DM(Rn).

Early detection of arrhythmia and effective treatment can prevent deaths caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). In clinical practice, the diagnosis is made by checking the electrocardiogram (ECG) beat-by-beat, but this is usually time-consuming and laborious. In the paper, we propose an automatic ECG classification method based on Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). CWT is used to decompose ECG signals to obtain different time-frequency components, and CNN is used to extract features from the 2D-scalogram composed of the above time-frequency components. Considering the surrounding R peak interval (also called RR interval) is also useful for the diagnosis of arrhythmia, four RR interval features are extracted and combined with the CNN features to input into a fully connected layer for ECG classification. By testing in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, our method achieves an overall performance of 70.75%, 67.47%, 68.76%, and 98.74% for positive predictive value, sensitivity, F1-score, and accuracy, respectively. Compared with existing methods, the overall F1-score of our method is increased by 4.75~16.85%. Because our method is simple and highly accurate, it can potentially be used as a clinical auxiliary diagnostic tool.
