Stroke can adversely affect the coordination and judgement of drivers due to executive dysfunction, which is relatively common in the post-stroke population but often undetected. Quantitatively examining vehicle control performance in post-stroke driving becomes essential to inspect whether and where post-stroke older drivers are risky. To date, it is unclear as to which indicators, such as lane keeping or speed control, can differentiate the driving performance of post-stroke older drivers from that of normal (neurotypical) older drivers. By employing a case–control design using advanced vehicle movement tracking and analysis technology, this pilot study aimed to compare the variations in driving trajectory, lane keeping and speed control between the two groups of older drivers using spatial and statistical techniques. The results showed that the mean standard deviation of lane deviation (SDLD) in post-stroke participants was higher than that of normal participants in complex driving tasks (U-turn and left turn) but almost the same in simple driving tasks (straight line sections). No statistically significant differences were found in the speed control performance. The findings indicate that, although older drivers can still drive as they need to after a stroke, the decline in cognitive abilities still imposes a higher cognitive workload and more effort for post-stroke older drivers. Future studies can investigate post-stroke adults’ driving behaviour at more challenging driving scenarios or design driving intervention programs to improve their executive function in driving.

Heavy duty vehicles, especially special vehicles, including wheel loaders and sprinklers, generally work with drastic changes in load. With the usage of a conventional hydraulic mechanical transmission, they face with these problems such as low efficiency, high fuel consumption and so forth. Some scholars focus on the research to solve these issues. However, few of them take into optimal strategies the fluctuation of speed ratio change, which can also cause a lot of problems. In this study, a novel speed regulation is proposed which cannot only solve problems above but also overcome impact caused by speed ratio change. Initially, based on the former research of the Compound Coupled Hydro-mechanical Transmission (CCHMT), the basic characteristics of CCHMT are analyzed. Besides, to solve these problems, dynamic programming algorithm is utilized to formulate basic speed regulation strategy under specific operating condition. In order to reduce the problem caused by speed ratio change, a new optimization is applied. The results indicate that the proposed DP optimal speed regulation strategy has better performance on reducing fuel consumption by up to 1.16% and 6.66% in driving cycle JN1015 and in ECE R15 working condition individually, as well as smoothing the fluctuation of speed ratio by up to 12.65% and 19.01% in those two driving cycles respectively. The processes determining the speed regulation strategy can provide a new method to formulate the control strategies of CCHMT under different operating conditions particularlly under real-world conditions.

This paper deals with the design of an optimally performed proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller utilized for speed control of a direct current (DC) motor. To do so, a novel hybrid algorithm was proposed which employs a recent metaheuristic approach, named Lévy flight distribution (LFD) algorithm, and a simplex search method known as Nelder–Mead (NM) algorithm. The proposed algorithm (LFDNM) combines both LFD and NM algorithms in such a way that the good explorative behaviour of LFD and excellent local search capability of NM help to form a novel hybridized version that is well balanced in terms of exploration and exploitation. The promise of the proposed structure was observed through employment of a DC motor with PID controller. Optimum values for PID gains were obtained with the aid of an integral of time multiplied absolute error objective function. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, comparative simulations were carried out using cuckoo search algorithm, genetic algorithm and original LFD algorithm. The system behaviour was assessed through analysing the results for statistical and non-parametric tests, transient and frequency responses, robustness, load disturbance, energy and maximum control signals. The respective evaluations showed better performance of the proposed approach. In addition, the better performance of the proposed approach was also demonstrated through experimental verification. Further evaluation to demonstrate better capability was performed by comparing the LFDNM-based PID controller with other state-of-the-art algorithms-based PID controllers with the same system parameters, which have also confirmed the superiority of the proposed approach.
