Advanced Driving Assistance System for an Electric Vehicle Based on Deep Learning

This chapter deals with a design of a new speed control method using artificial intelligence techniques applied to an autonomous electric vehicle. In this research, we develop an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) which aims to enhance the driving manner and the safety, especially when traveling too fast. The proposed model is a complete end-to-end vehicle speed system controller that proceeds from a detected speed limit sign to the regulation of the motor’s speed. It recognizes the speed limit signs before extracting from them, a speed information that will be sent, as reference, to a NARMA-L2 based controller. The study is developped specially for electric vehicle using Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor. The simulation results, implemented using Matlab-Simulink, show that the speed of the electric vehicle is controlled successfully with different speed references coming from the image processing unit

Ensemble Neurocomputing Based Oil Price Prediction

Abstract. In this paper, we investigated an ensemble neural network for the prediction of oil prices. Daily data from 1999 to 2012 were used to predict the West Taxes, Intermediate. Data were separated into four phases of training and testing using different percentages and obtained seven sub-datasets after implementing different attribute selection algorithms. We used three types of neural networks: Feed forward, Recurrent and Radial Basis Function networks. Finally a good ensemble neural network model is formulated by the weighted average method. Empirical results illustrated that the ensemble neural network outperformed other models
