Quick Abstract

In this paper, we present an optimized 3D stereoscopic display based on parallax barriers for a driving simulator. The overall purpose of the simulator is to enable user studies in a reproducible environment under controlled conditions to test and evaluate advanced driver assistance systems. Our contribution and the focus of this article is a visualization based on parallax barriers with (I) a-priori optimized barrier patterns and (II) an iterative calibration algorithm to further reduce visualization errors introduced by production inaccuracies. The result is an optimized 3D stereoscopic display perfectly integrated into its environment such that a single user in the simulator environment sees a stereoscopic image without having to wear specialized eye-wear.

Quick Abstract

In this paper a new iterative construction algorithm for local model networks is presented. The algorithm is focussed on building models with sparsely distributed data as they occur in engine optimization processes. The validity function of each local model is fitted to the available data using statistical criteria along with regularisation and thus allowing an arbitrary orientation and extent in the input space. Local models are consecutively placed into those regions of the input space where the model error is still large thus guaranteeing maximal improvement through each new local model. The orientation and extent of each validity function is also adapted to the available training data such that the determination of the local regression parameters is a well posed problem. The regularisation of the model can be controlled in a distinct manner using only two user-defined parameters. Examples from an industrial problems illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Quick Abstract

One of the most important topics in the field of automation systems is the integration of sensors, actuators, measurement devices and automation subsystems. Especially automation systems like test beds in the automotive industry impose high requirements regarding flexibility and reduced setup and integration time for new devices and operating modes. The core function of any automation system is the acquisition, evaluation and control of data received by sensors and sent to actuators. Sensors and actuators can be connected directly to the automation systems. In this case they are parameterised using specific software components, which determine the characteristics of every channel. In contrast to this, smart sensors, measurement devices or complex subsystems have to be integrated by means of different physical communication lines and protocols. The challenge for the automation system is to provide an integration platform, which will offer easy and flexible way for the integration of this type of devices. On the one hand, a sophisticated interface to the automation system should trigger, synchronise and evaluate values of different devices. On the other hand, a simple user interface for device integration should facilitate the flexible and straightforward device integration procedure for the customer. Configurable Device Handler is a software layer in the automation system, which offers a best trade-off between the complex functionality of intelligent devices and their integration in a simple, fast and flexible way. Due to a straightforward integration procedure, it is possible to integrate new devices and operation modes in a minimum of time by focusing on device functions and configuring the automation system, rather than writing software for specific device subsystems. This article gives an overview of Configurable Device Handler, which was implemented in the test bed automation system PUMA Open developed at the AVL. It provides an insight into the architecture of the Configurable Device Handler and shows the principles and the ideas behind it. Finally, new aspects and future developments are discussed.
