Detecting the adherence of driving rules in an energy-efficient, safe and adaptive driving system
An adaptive and rule-based driving system is being developed that tries to improve the driving behavior in terms of the energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations. Therefore, the driving system has to monitor the adherence of driving rules by matching the rules to the driving behavior. However, existing rule matching algorithms are not sufficient, as the data within a driving system is changing frequently. In this paper a rule matching algorithm is introduced that is able to handle frequently changing data within the context of the driving system. 15 journeys were used to evaluate the performance of the rule matching algorithms. The results showed that the introduced algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in the context of the driving system. Thus, the introduced algorithm is suited for matching frequently changing data against rules with a higher performance, why it will be used in the driving system for the detection of broken energy-efficiency or safety-relevant driving rules
Using an improved rule match algorithm in an expert system to detect broken driving rules for an energy-efficiency and safety relevant driving system
Vehicles have been so far improved in terms of energy-efficiency and safety mainly by optimising the engine and the power
train. However, there are opportunities to increase energy-efficiency and safety by adapting the individual driving
behaviour in the given driving situation. In this paper, an improved rule match algorithm is introduced, which is used in the
expert system of a human-centred driving system. The goal of the driving system is to optimise the driving behaviour in
terms of energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations to the driver. The improved rule match algorithm checks
the incoming information against the driving rules to recognise any breakings of a driving rule. The needed information is
obtained by monitoring the driver, the current driving situation as well as the car, using in-vehicle sensors and serial-bus
systems. On the basis of the detected broken driving rules, the expert system will create individual recommendations in
terms of energy-efficiency and safety, which will allow eliminating bad driving habits, while considering the driver needs
An adaptive and rule based driving system for energy-e cient and safe driving behaviour
Falta palabras claveSaving energy and protecting the environment became fundamental for
society and politics, why several laws were enacted to increase the energye
ciency. Furthermore, the growing number of vehicles and drivers leaded
to more accidents and fatalities on the roads, why road safety became an
important factor as well. Due to the increasing importance of energye
ciency and safety, car manufacturers started to optimise the vehicle in
terms of energy-e ciency and safety. However, energy-e ciency and road
safety can be also increased by adapting the driving behaviour to the given
driving situation. This thesis presents a concept of an adaptive and rule
based driving system that tries to educate the driver in energy-e cient
and safe driving by showing recommendations on time. Unlike existing
driving systems, the presented driving system considers energy-e ciency
and safety relevant driving rules, the individual driving behaviour and
the driver condition. This allows to avoid the distraction of the driver
and to increase the acceptance of the driving system, while improving the
driving behaviour in terms of energy-e ciency and safety. A prototype of
the driving system was developed and evaluated. The evaluation was done
on a driving simulator using 42 test drivers, who tested the e_ect of the
driving system on the driving behaviour and the e_ect of the adaptiveness
of the driving system on the user acceptance. It has been proven during
the evaluation that the energy-e ciency and safety can be increased, when
the driving system was used. Furthermore, it has been proven that the
user acceptance of the driving system increases when the adaptive feature
was turned on. A high user acceptance of the driving system allows a
steady usage of the driving system and, thus, a steady improvement of
the driving behaviour in terms of energy-e ciency and safety

Implicit personalization in driving assistance: State-of-the-art and open issues
In recent decades, driving assistance systems have been evolving towards personalization for adapting to different drivers. With the consideration of driving preferences and driver characteristics, these systems become more acceptable and trustworthy. This article presents a survey on recent advances in implicit personalized driving assistance. We classify the collection of work into three main categories: 1) personalized Safe Driving Systems (SDS), 2) personalized Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), and 3) personalized In-vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). For each category, we provide a comprehensive review of current applications and related techniques along with the discussion of industry status, benefits of personalization, application prospects, and future focal points. Both relevant driving datasets and open issues about personalized driving assistance are discussed to facilitate future research. By creating an organized categorization of the field, we hope that this survey could not only support future research and the development of new technologies for personalized driving assistance but also facilitate the application of these techniques within the driving automation community</h2
Design and validation of decision and control systems in automated driving
xxvi, 148 p.En la última década ha surgido una tendencia creciente hacia la automatización de los vehículos, generando un cambio significativo en la movilidad, que afectará profundamente el modo de vida de las personas, la logística de mercancías y otros sectores dependientes del transporte. En el desarrollo de la conducción automatizada en entornos estructurados, la seguridad y el confort, como parte de las nuevas funcionalidades de la conducción, aún no se describen de forma estandarizada. Dado que los métodos de prueba utilizan cada vez más las técnicas de simulación, los desarrollos existentes deben adaptarse a este proceso. Por ejemplo, dado que las tecnologías de seguimiento de trayectorias son habilitadores esenciales, se deben aplicar verificaciones exhaustivas en aplicaciones relacionadas como el control de movimiento del vehículo y la estimación de parámetros. Además, las tecnologías en el vehículo deben ser lo suficientemente robustas para cumplir con los requisitos de seguridad, mejorando la redundancia y respaldar una operación a prueba de fallos. Considerando las premisas mencionadas, esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo el diseño y la implementación de un marco para lograr Sistemas de Conducción Automatizados (ADS) considerando aspectos cruciales, como la ejecución en tiempo real, la robustez, el rango operativo y el ajuste sencillo de parámetros. Para desarrollar las aportaciones relacionadas con este trabajo, se lleva a cabo un estudio del estado del arte actual en tecnologías de alta automatización de conducción. Luego, se propone un método de dos pasos que aborda la validación de ambos modelos de vehículos de simulación y ADS. Se introducen nuevas formulaciones predictivas basadas en modelos para mejorar la seguridad y el confort en el proceso de seguimiento de trayectorias. Por último, se evalúan escenarios de mal funcionamiento para mejorar la seguridad en entornos urbanos, proponiendo una estrategia alternativa de estimación de posicionamiento para minimizar las condiciones de riesgo
Use of nonintrusive sensor-based information and communication technology for real-world evidence for clinical trials in dementia
Cognitive function is an important end point of treatments in dementia clinical trials. Measuring cognitive function by standardized tests, however, is biased toward highly constrained environments (such as hospitals) in selected samples. Patient-powered real-world evidence using information and communication technology devices, including environmental and wearable sensors, may help to overcome these limitations. This position paper describes current and novel information and communication technology devices and algorithms to monitor behavior and function in people with prodromal and manifest stages of dementia continuously, and discusses clinical, technological, ethical, regulatory, and user-centered requirements for collecting real-world evidence in future randomized controlled trials. Challenges of data safety, quality, and privacy and regulatory requirements need to be addressed by future smart sensor technologies. When these requirements are satisfied, these technologies will provide access to truly user relevant outcomes and broader cohorts of participants than currently sampled in clinical trials
