A variety of accurate information inputs are of great importance for automotive control. In this paper, a novel joint soft-sensing strategy is proposed to obtain multi-information under diverse vehicle driving scenarios. This strategy is realized by an information interaction including three modules: vehicle state estimation, road slope observer and vehicle mass determination. In the first module, a variational Bayesian-based adaptive cubature Kalman filter is employed to estimate the vehicle states with the time-variant noise interference. Under the assumption of road continuity, a slope prediction model is proposed to reduce the time delay of the road slope observation. Meanwhile, a fast response nonlinear cubic observer is introduced to design the road slope module. On the basis of the vehicle states and road slope information, the vehicle mass is determined by a forgetting-factor recursive least square algorithm. In the experiments, a contrasted strategy is introduced to analyse and evaluate performance. Results declare that the proposed strategy is effective and has the advantages of low time delay, high accuracy and good stability.

Autonomous logistics vehicles are characterised by large changes in mass and their performances are greatly influenced by slope. In addition, sensors on autonomous vehicles are expensive and difficult to be installed considering application environment. To address these problems, a novel integrated estimation strategy for vehicle mass and road slope, which is based on the joint iteration of multi-model recursive least square (MMRLS) and Sage-Husa adaptive filter with the strong tracking filter (SH-STF), is proposed by utilising information involving speed, nominal engine torque and inherent parameters of vehicles. Firstly, due to the separate slowly-changing and time-dependent characteristics, the vehicle mass and road slope are estimated by using MMRLS and SH-STF separately. Secondly, the longitudinal dynamics gain and the steering dynamics gain are calculated separately based on each model’s residual probability distribution. Then, the two estimations module are combined by employing an iterative algorithm. Finally, the proposed strategy is verified by simulation and real vehicle tests. The tests result reveals that the estimation algorithm can effective estimate vehicle mass and road slope in real-time under straight going and steering conditions.

Predicting vehicle trajectory accurately is a crucial task for an autonomous vehicle. It is also necessary for many Advanced Driver Assistance System to predict trajectory of the ego-vehicle’s. In recent years, some vehicles trajectory prediction algorithm is mainly based on a simple Motion Model. This paper puts forward a method which combines road recognition and the hypothesis of steady preview and dynamic correction for trajectory prediction. In the road recognition algorithm, both methods of Kalman Filter (KF) and Recursive Least-Square (RLS) work well to estimate the road slope and road friction coefficient.

With the acceleration of urbanization process, the country’s strong support for the healthy development of the logistics industry has made urban logistics become a hot topic in recent years. With the increase in the number of logistics vehicles, traffic accidents have become more frequent. Intelligent vehicle collision avoidance system is an important part of advanced safety technology. To increase veracity and practicability of logistics vehicle safety collision avoidance, this paper presents a safety distance model for longitudinal collision avoidance of logistics vehicles considering road slope and road adhesion coefficient. Based on the vehicle kinetic theory, the information of surrounding environment for the vehicle is obtained using environment sensing system adequately, a method is designed to estimate the road slope and road adhesion coefficient. Combined with vehicle dynamics and tire normal force variation, the road slope was estimated. Based on the relationship between slip rate and adhesion coefficient, the Least Square Method is used for multivariate fitting to obtain the relationship between rolling resistance coefficient and road adhesion coefficient, estimate the road adhesion coefficient, and the maximum deceleration of vehicle braking is modified. Therefore, the safety distance model is established. In order to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the model, three cases are designed for verification: case I is verification of the safety distance model considering the slope factor; case II is verification of the safety distance model considering the road adhesion factor; case III is the safety distance verification considering both the factors of slope and road adhesion coefficient. The result shows that it is necessary to take the factors of road slope and adhesion coefficient into the safety distance model to improve the accuracy of the model.

This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous identification of linear discrete time delay multivariable systems. This problem involves both the estimation of the time delays and the dynamic parameters matrices. In fact, we suggest a new formulation of this problem allowing defining the time delay and the dynamic parameters in the same estimated vector and building the corresponding observation vector. Then, we use this formulation to propose a new method to identify the time delays and the parameters of these systems using the least square approach. Convergence conditions and statistics properties of the proposed method are also developed. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. An application of the developed approach to compact disc player arm is also suggested in order to validate simulation results.

Abstract Background Early diagnosis and treatment of ACS can reduce the risk of complications and death. Delay calling for help can increase morbidity and mortality. It is unclear which age group among patients with acute coronary syndrome tend to delay their call for help. Results Our observational retrospective study showed that men and women in their 50s and 40s respectively tend to delay their call for help from symptoms onset. For the former, the mean time delays (590 ± 71.1 min), whereas for the latter it was (1084 ± 120.1 min). Moreover, these groups tend to have a longer time delay between symptoms onset and arrival at the hospital. Among deaths, we observed that the death rate was proportional to the time delay, which is not unexpected. Next step, we plan to perform a qualitative study in the form of questionnaires to target the individuals with a high risk of CVD within these age groups. Conclusion Middle age group of both genders tend to delay their call for help when they experience symptoms of ACS; moreover, regardless of the age, the longer the delay, the higher the mortality rate. The results of this study gave us a better understanding of our local population and will pave the road for a well-structured teaching programme for them to minimise the time delay for calling for help.
