Adaptive Cooperation between Driver and Assistant System
One of the next challenges in vehicular technology field is to improve drastically the road safety. Current developments are focusing on both vehicle platform and diverse assistance systems. This book presents a new engineering approach based on lean vehicle architecture ready for the drive-by-wire technology. Based on a cognitive functionality split, execution and command levels are detailed. The execution level centralized over the stability control performs the motion vector coming from the command level. At this level the driver generates a motion vector which is continuously monitored by a virtual co-pilot. The integration of assistance systems in a safety relevant multi-agent system is presented here to provide first an adequate feedback to the driver to let him recover a dangerous situation. Robust strategies are also presented for the intervention phase once the command vehicle has to be optimized to stay within the safety envelope.
Barriers to Use of Transportation Alternatives by People with Disabilities
Implications of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 with regard to use of public transit and paratransit by people with disabilities are discussed in terms of physical, psychological, and communication barriers. Recent trends in amelioration of those barriers are described. A survey of several selected transit organizations who have been identified as innovative in their approach to removing barriers to access and use were surveyed by telephone and their experiences summarized. Technology to address physical and communications barriers is discussed with regard to ingress and egress from vehicles, securement of mobility aids, information transfer to sensory and cognitively disabled riders...
