Driver Fatigue Detection Based on Unscented Kalman Filter and Eye Tracking

ZHANG Zutao, ZHANG Jiashu

2008, 21(6): 697-702.

[Abstract](1686)

Abstract:
In order to resolve the problem of fast head moving,nonlinear eye tracking and facial fatigue expression detection,a new scheme of driver fatigue detection was proposed based on unscented Kalman filter(UKF) and eye tracking.Owing to the intuition that it is easier to approximate a probability distribution than to approximate an arbitrary nonlinear function or transformation,nonlinear eye tracking can be achieved using unscented transformation(UT) by adopting a set of deterministic sigma points to match the posterior probability density function for eye movement.Driver fatigue can be detected by calculating PERCLOS(percentage of eyelid closure over the pupil over time) under a realistic driving condition after nonlinear eye tracking.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can not only improve the robustnesses of the head rotating and fast head movement of a driver and the interference of external illuminations,but also provide more accurate estimation than the traditional Kalman filter.

2008, 21(6): 703-708.

[Abstract](1502)

Abstract:
The inventory strategy for multiple products sharing a warehouse in a logistics system was studied.The hypotheses were that the mean total inventory cost consisted of constant ordering cost per order,fixed cost determined by the required warehouse space and variable cost determined by the stored product quantity.The offsets for replenishment cycles of multiple products were used to reduce warehouse space and the relevant cost.The upper and lower programming models are to minimize the mean total inventory cost and necessary inventory spaces,respectively;and their decision variables are the replenishment cycles and the offsets for replenishment cycles,respectively.A particle swarm optimization algorithm was designed to solve the model and calculate the optimal replenishment cycles and offsets.The effectiveness of the model and its algorithm were illustrated with a numerical example.

[Abstract](1571)

Abstract:
To enhance the stability of soil filled in the roadbed of expressway,a high performance consolidating material(HPCM) was used to improve the stability of primary soil,and its performances such as CBR(California bearing ratio) value,compactness and expansion were investigated through a physical test,SEM(scanning electron microscopy) and XRD(X-ray diffraction) analyses.The research result shows that the CBR value of soil treated by HPCM is increased.Different from conventional approaches to stabilize roadbed,the mechanism of HPCM is to form a tight structure by increasing the combination of soil grains through the interaction of physical and chemical effects to enhance the stability of treated soil.

[Abstract](1310)

Abstract:
To meet the accuracy requirement of relative positioning,it is necessary to perform the further investigation on the form of CPⅢ(control points Ⅲ) control networks and the precision evaluation of observations from field surveying.By combining the standard with the improved forms of CPⅢ control networks,a rigorous method for accuracy estimation based on the parameter adjustment of side-angle measurement network was proposed.A simulated test was performed to investigate the relative accuracy between points,and the necessary precision assessment for field observations was further discussed.The research result shows that the azimuth measurement accuracy of less than ±1″ and the distance measurement accuracy of less than ±(1+1×10-6) mm in a high-speed railway system are respectively required.The research provides a reference for the revision of the present measurement specification for high-speed roadway and the selection of surveying methods for ballastless track.

SONG Lei, HUANG Teng, FANG Jian, ZHOU Xuhua

2008, 21(6): 724-728.

[Abstract](1604)

Abstract:
In order to improve the over-fitting in GPS(global positioning system) height conversion using BP(back propagation) neural network,a new method of GPS height conversion based on the Bayesian regularization BP neural network was proposed.Using the GPS/leveling data in a certain area,this new method was compared with the BP neural network without using the regularization algorithm for GPS height conversion.The research results show that the new method can not only improve the precision of GPS height conversion but also restrain the over-fitting through using the Bayesian regularization algorithm to improve the structure of neural networks in cases with a big area and anomalous height anomaly.The precision of GPS height conversion can achieve 0.050 m to an about 10 km baseline with the new method.

LUO Yongfeng, LIU Huijuan, HAN Qinghua

2008, 21(6): 729-735.

[Abstract](1456)

Abstract:
Analysis methods of the dynamic stability of suspended-dome structures were discussed.A theoretical investigation was conducted based on the Lypumov dynamic stability theory.The investigation shows that it is difficult to obtain the dynamic instability criterion of a suspended-dome structure under an earthquake with the current methods and the Lypumov theory.Based on the B-R(Budiansky-Roth) criterion,a practical method to judge the dynamic stability was proposed.With this method and time history response curves,the dynamic stability of a suspended-dome structure was judged.Under horizontal,vertical and three-dimensional seismic excitations,the dynamic stability characteristics,stability configuration and cable behavior of suspended-dome structures with different rise-span ratios were analyzed respectively.The results show that under different seismic excitations,the critical dynamic instability configuration is different,and the effects of the rise-span ratio on the dynamic stability are different.The dominant earthquake components of the dynamic instability of the structures with different rise-span ratios are different.When the exciting acceleration approaches the critical point,some cables will relax,but they will be tensioned again during later vibration.

2008, 21(6): 736-739.

[Abstract](1645)

Abstract:
In order to enhance the calculation accuracy of concrete columns reinforced by FRP(fiber reinforced polymer) under axial compression,a BP(back propagation) neural network model was established to predict the load-bearing capacity of a concrete column reinforced by FRP under axial compression.The BP neural network model was trained by volume test data,and using the trained model,the load-bearing capacity of concrete columns reinforced by FRP was predicted.A comparison between the predicted and experimental results shows that the BP neural network model can consider more affecting factors and is reliable.Moreover,its maximum error is less than 15%,and its precision is higher than other models.

2008, 21(6): 740-746.

[Abstract](1737)

Abstract:
To provide accurate reference data to vibration restraint,based on the one-dimensional experienced linear VIV(vortex-induced vibration) model the vertical and torsional VIV spanwise responses of a bridge girder were deduced by synthetically considering factors such as mode shape,damping ratio and vortex-induced force correlation.A method was proposed to describe the VIV spanwise responses of a long-span bridge girder.A method to identify the aerodynamic parameters in the experienced linear VIV model through a section model test was discussed.By taking a long-span cable-stayed bridge as an example,the aerodynamic parameters were identified.In addition,the vortex-induced force correlation and the vertical and torsional VIV responses were calculated under different wind attack angles.The research result shows that the response amplitude of VIV influenced by the correlation decreases drastically with the increase of a spanwise distance.

2008, 21(6): 751-755.

[Abstract](1384)

Abstract:
To analyze the transmitting process of incident shock and the transient flows,the starting process was simulated numerically.In the simulation,the control equations were the conservational Navier-Stokes equations with a species diffusion term,which describe two-dimensional viscous,compressible and unsteady flows.The cell-centered finite volume scheme was used for space discretization,and the dual-time stepping method was taken to calculate the unsteady term.The calculated results reasonably agreed with the experimental ones.The research shows that during the starting process,the velocity of incident shock changes due to the variation in inner profile,and gets its maximum at the isolator.

WU Shijing, ZHU Enyong, LI Qunli, WANG Xiaosun

2008, 21(6): 756-761.

[Abstract](1601)

Abstract:
In order to avoid shift cycle in the process of fuzzy control for automatic transmission shift,a new fuzzy control strategy was designed.A shift map obtained from an experiment was divided into an upshifting map and a downshifting map,and two corresponding fuzzy controllers,upshifting controller and downshifting controller,were designed.It was put forward that the controllers should work in the light of the acceleration,i.e.,the system is controlled by the upshifting controller when the acceleration is positive,and it is controlled by the downshifting controller when the acceleration is negative or zero.A simulation model was built to achieve the control strategy,and a simulation was carried out to validate the correctness and feasibility of the fuzzy shift strategy designed.The simulation result shows that an automobile with this shift strategy can effectively avoid shift cycle even if it is running in a complicated driving condition and this shift strategy can obtain the optimal power and economic performances.

2008, 21(6): 762-766.

[Abstract](1703)

Abstract:
A simplified model for torsional vibrations of a single wheel-set drive system was used to study torsional vibrations of a locomotive under slippage.In the model,torsional stiffness of the shaft of a wheel set and that between the traction motor and the wheel-set were taken into account.The phase trajectories of the torsional vibrations are a set of stable limit cycles,signifying self-excited vibrations when the average wheel-rail creepage is over the critical value.Frequencies of torsional vibrations with different operating modes were calculated.The results show that the vibration frequency is in accordance with the natural frequency of the drive system when self-excited vibrations happen.Therefore,analyzing the vibration frequency of wheel-sets is a measure to identify wheel-rail slippage.

2008, 21(6): 782-787.

[Abstract](1005)

Abstract:
It is difficult for a passive radar to detect weak targets under the background of strong jamming coming from large targets,near air fleet or deception jam.Based on the connection between strong and reference signals,the relationship between the amplitude-range-Doppler surface and the ambiguity function of the reference signal was deduced,and a detection method for weak targets was proposed based on two-dimension FIR(finite impulse response) system identification.Simulation results indicate that the proposed method can restrain the strong signal beyond 60 dB,and even to weak targets with an echo SNR(signal to noise ratio) of-24 dB,they can be detected.
