ADAS and autonomous technologies in vehicles become more and more complex, which increases development time and expenses. This paper presents a new real-time ADAS multisensory validation system, which can speed up the development and implementation processes while lowering its cost. The proposed test system integrates a high-quality 3D CARLA simulator with a real-time-based automation platform. We present system experimental verifications on several types of sensors and testing system architectures. The first, open-loop experiment explains the real-time capabilities of the system based on the Mobileye 6 camera sensor detections. The second experiment runs a real-time closed-loop test of a lane-keeping algorithm (LKA) based on the Mobileye 6 line detection. The last experiment presents a simulation of Velodyne VLP-16 lidar, which runs a free space detection algorithm. Simulated lidar output is compared with the real lidar performance. We show that the platform generates reproducible results and allows closed-loop operation which, combined with a real-time collection of event information, promises good scalability toward complex ADAS or autonomous functionalities testing.

Background: The power performance of an electric vehicle is the basic parameter. Traditional test equipment, such as the expensive chassis dynamometer, not only increases the cost of testing but also makes it impossible to measure all the performance parameters of an electric vehicle. Objective: A set of convenient, efficient and sensitive power measurement system for electric vehicles is developed to obtain the real-time power changes of hub-motor vehicles under various operating conditions, and the dynamic performance parameters of hub-motor vehicles are obtained through the system. Methods: Firstly, a set of on-board power test system is developed by using virtual instrument (Lab- VIEW). This test system can obtain the power changes of hub-motor vehicles under various operating conditions in real-time and save data in real-time. Then, the driving resistance of hub-motor vehicles is analyzed, and the power performance of hub-motor vehicles is studied in depth. The power testing system is proposed to test the input power of both ends of the driving motor, and the chassis dynamometer is combined to test so that the output efficiency of the driving motor can be easily obtained without disassembly. Finally, this method is used to carry out the road test and obtain the vehicle dynamic performance parameters. Results: The real-time current, voltage and power, maximum power, acceleration time and maximum speed of the vehicle can be obtained accurately by using the power test system in the real road experiment. Conclusion: The maximum power required by the two motors reaches about 9KW, and it takes about 20 seconds to reach the maximum speed. The total power required to maintain the maximum speed is about 7.8kw, and the maximum speed is 62km/h. In this article, various patents have been discussed.

The closed loop feedback control system of an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) electro-pneumatic clutch actuator is used for intelligent real time condition monitoring, enhanced diagnostics and prognostic health management of the dry clutch system, by integrating with the existing gearbox prognostics observer. The real-time sensor data of the clutch actuator piston position is analyzed for monitoring the condition of the clutch system. Original parameters of the new clutch are stored in the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory (EEPROM) of the AMT controller and the real-time data is used by the observer for assessing the degradation/wear of the frictional clutch parts. Also, clutch slip during torque transmission is monitored, using the engine speed and the gearbox input shaft speed from Controller Area Network (CAN). Condition monitoring of clutch system provides enhanced prognostic functionality for AMT system which ensures consistent clutch performance, gear shift quality and timely warning for recalibration, repair and/or replacement of the critical wear and tear parts. Also, systematic analysis of the monitored data provides an accurate diagnosis of a developing fault. Thus, with the advanced control systems in place for AMT, a closed loop feedback based condition monitoring system is modelled for improved diagnostics and prognostics of AMT clutch system.

An optimized collision detection algorithm based on dynamic bounding volume tree is proposed in this paper. First this algorithm adopts spatial division to exclude objects which cant intersect to define the potential intersection areas. Then use a new dynamic OBB bounding volume tree to test whether the intersection happened between the objects in the same grid. At last, this algorithm improves the traditional overlapping test between the primitives for accurate collision detection to accelerate the detection between objects. Compared to the traditional collision detection algorithm based on OBB bounding volume. This algorithm can effectively improve the real-time of the collision detection without affecting the accuracy of original collision detection.

Anomaly detection is an important research direction, which takes the real-time information system from different sensors and conditional information sources into consideration. Based on this, we can detect possible anomalies expected of the devices and components. One of the challenges is anomaly detection in multivariate-sensing time-series in this paper. Based on this situation, we propose RADM, a real-time anomaly detection algorithm based on Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) and Bayesian Network (BN). First of all, we use HTM model to evaluate the real-time anomalies of each univariate-sensing time-series. Secondly, a model of anomalous state detection in multivariate-sensing time-series based on Naive Bayesian is designed to analyze the validity of the above time-series. Lastly, considering the real-time monitoring cases of the system states of terminal nodes in Cloud Platform, the effectiveness of the methodology is demonstrated using a simulated example. Extensive simulation results show that using RADM in multivariate-sensing time-series is able to detect more abnormal, and thus can remarkably improve the performance of real-time anomaly detection.
