Electricity demand of electric railways is a relatively unexplored source of flexibility in demand response applications in power systems. In this paper, we propose a transactive control based optimization framework for coordinating the…
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness worldwide and is one of many limitations to independent driving among old adults. Highly autonomous vehicles present a prospective solution for those who are no longer capable…
Railway systems require regular manual maintenance, a large part of which is dedicated to inspecting track deformation. Such deformation might severely impact trains' runtime security, whereas such inspections remain costly for both finance…
We propose an analytic solution to the problem of finding optimal driving strategies that minimize total tractive energy consumption for a fleet of trains travelling on the same track in the same direction subject to clearance-time equality…
Motion sickness (MS) has long been a common complaint in road transportation. However, in the era of driving automation, MS has become an increasingly significant issue. The future intelligent vehicle is envisioned as a mobile space for…
In this paper we investigate real-time, dynamic traffic optimization in railway systems. In order to enable practical solution times, we operate the optimizer in a receding horizon fashion and with optimization horizons that are shorter…
In this paper, a controller design targeting the remotely operated hydraulic drive system is presented. A two-degrees-of-freedom PID position controller is used, which is designed so that to maximize the integral action under robust…
This paper investigates the longitudinal control problem in a dynamic traffic environment where driving scenarios change between free-driving scenarios and car-following scenarios. A comprehensive longitudinal controller is proposed to…
Automated train operation on existing railway infrastructure requires robust camera-based perception, yet the railway domain lacks public benchmark suites with standardized evaluation protocols that would enable reproducible comparison of…
Robotic technology has the potential to revolutionize the field of neurology by providing new methods for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological disorders. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the…
While teleoperated robots continue to proliferate in domains including search and rescue, field exploration, or the military, human error remains a primary cause for accidents or mistakes. One challenge is that teleoperating a remote robot…
An ideal safe workplace is described as a place where staffs fulfill responsibilities in a well-organized order, potential hazardous events are being monitored in real-time, as well as the number of accidents and relevant damages are…
Remote driving has emerged as a solution for enabling human intervention in scenarios where Automated Driving Systems (ADS) face challenges, particularly in urban Operational Design Domains (ODDs). This study evaluates the performance of…
Teleoperation systems map operator commands from an input device into some coordinate frame in the remote environment. This frame, which we call a control coordinate system, should be carefully chosen as it determines how operators should…
The level of automation in vehicles will significantly increase over the next decade. As automation will become more and more common, vehicles will not be able to master all traffic related situations for a long time by themselves. In such…
To overcome increasing traffic, provide various new services, further ensure safety and security, significantly improve travel comfort, a new communication system for railways is required. Since 2019, public networks have been evolving to…
Some recent incidents have shown that possibly the vulnerability of IT systems in railway automation has been underestimated. Fortunately, so far, almost only denial-of-service attacks were successful, but due to several trends, such as the…
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders continue to be a major challenge in industrial environments, leading to reduced workforce participation, increased healthcare costs, and long-term disability. This study introduces a human-sensitive…
A study on future large accelerators [1] has considered a facility, which is designed, built and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions, and which is remote from most of these institutions. The full range of…
In many countries, a rail network consists of single lines with sidings where interactions between trains occur (meet, pass). In this paper, we study two issues of these networks: first, the scheduling of freight trains in a single line…
