Striving for the brighter future: An experience of high school students as earthquake victims

High school students’ experienced negative emotions caused by the earthquake that strucked Sigi District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In addition to overcoming negative emotions, they were faced with deciding on a career decision. For this reason, this research aimed to determine the effect of Future Time Perspective (FTP) on Career Decision Self-Efficacy (CDSE) of 141 students from six high schools. Simple regression indicated that FTP positively affected the CDSE of high school students. Moreover, using multivariate regression analysis on FTP and five dimensions of CDSE, we found that FTP contributes positively and significantly to the five dimensions of CDSE. Therefore, the research implied that FTP based intervention program is able to promote CDSE

Towards Highly Automated Driving: Intermediate report on the HAVEit-Joint System

International audienceThis overview article describes the goals, concepts and very preliminary results of the subproject Joint System within the EU-project HAVEit. The goal of HAVEit is to develop and investigate vehicle automation beyond ADAS systems, especially highly automated driving, where the automation is doing a high percentage of the driving, while the driver is still meaningfully involved in the driving task. In HAVEit, an overarching architecture and several prototypes will be built up over time by manufacturers and suppliers. As a trail blazer, a Joint System prototype is under development by an interdisciplinary team of several European research institutes in order to investigate and demonstrate the basic principles of highly automated driving, which will then be gradually applied to vehicles closer to serial production. Starting with sensor data fusion, the Co-System part of the Joint Systems plans manoeuvres and trajectories, which are then used to control active interfaces and, taking into account the results of an online driver assessment, joined with the actions of the driver. While many aspects of this research undertaking are still under investigation, the concept, a first prototype and first results from a simulator evaluation will be sketched

Trim Trajectories Characterization for an Unmanned Autonomous Airship

International audienceIn this paper we propose an algorithm allowing the calculation of the trim trajectories for the airship. These trajectories are suitable for control, by linearizing the dynamic equations around the trim conditions, and hence simplifying significantly the controller synthesis. Another advantage related to trim trajectories consists in the simplification of the development of the aerodynamic parameters estimation algorithms. To ensure trim feasibility, a set of constraint relating to the dynamic equations of the airship, actuator saturation and other type of constraints are taken into account
