ABSTRACT Acquisition programs typically develop a set of system requirements early in their lifecycle, which then become the standard against which future designs are evaluated. It is critical that these requirements be set at appropriate levels. Requirement sets that are not simultaneously achievable are a relatively common problem in military acquisition programs and often are not recognized until significant investment has already been made – sometimes even leading to program cancellation. The Advanced Requirements Integration & Exploration System (ARIES) is designed to aid program stakeholders in understanding the requirements trade space for a system and facilitate the identification of an achievable set of requirements. This paper presents the ARIES methodology, describes the analytic capability, and discusses its application. Citation: A.I. Dessanti, D.J. Anderson, S.M. Henry, A.J. Pierson, R.S.

ABSTRACT Building battery packs for various, significantly different applications, is often complex and risky. Detailed cell and pack modeling and simulation tools, along with existing and predicted power and energy profiles significantly reduce the risk of designing and integrating a new pack for new applications on the battlefield. This paper will discuss a number of modeling and simulation techniques, using case studies as examples, that ensure a battery pack, when integrated to the application, will meet the predicted performance goals and specifications. Actual data will also be shown to validate these techniques that significantly reduce development time and risk when providing power to the Warfighter

RADAR antennae come in varying sizes and shapes. They are often employed in heterogeneous systems (i.e., systems that use multiple detection methods) that are employed to detect and visualize objects. Object identification in the context of automated vehicle behavior design could require extensive data sets to train algorithms that have the potential to make dynamic driving decisions. A widely available platform would increase the ability of researchers learn about automated systems and to gather data, which may be necessary for training automated vehicle systems. This work describes the application of a 77 GHz, portable antenna to the description of standard fleet vehicles as well as a suite of soft targets contextualized within polar plots. This work shows that object detection and identification is possible in off-the-shelf portable systems that combine readily available materials and software in a reproducible manner. The described system and algorithm create a visual correlate

Mode identification, particularly Modal Map Generation, is pivotal within the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) domain for managing the performance of complex systems like TBIW/Powertrain. This study addresses the critical task of accurately identifying Global / Local behavior of a particular system as single entity (Complete TBIW, Power train) or all the systems attached to main structure (Sub Systems i.e Seat , Fuel Tank , Pump etc), which is crucial for effective NVH post-processing. Introducing a novel tool/methodology developed by the Applus IDIADA team, this paper presents an efficient approach to Global & Local mode identification across subsystems, TBIW, and Powertrain levels. Leveraging ".op2" file content, mainly Strain Energy Density[1] and Displacement [2], the tool integrates Machine Learning Techniques [3] to produce mode predictions along with detailed visual outputs such as graphs , pie chart , modal charts etc. Implemented as a Python-based solution compatible with

Though modal analysis is a common tool to evaluate the dynamic properties of a structure, there are still many individual decisions to be made during the process which are often based on experience and make it difficult for occasional users to gain reliable and correct results. One of those experience-based choices is the correct number and placement of reference points. This decision is especially important, because it must be made right in the beginning of the process and a wrong choice is only noticeable by chance in the very end of the process. Picking the wrong reference points could result in incomplete modal analysis outcomes, as it might make certain modes undetectable, compounded by the user's lack of awareness about these missing modes. In the paper an innovative approach will be presented to choose the minimal number of mandatory reference points and their placement. While other approaches use results of numerical simulations or rely on a visual evaluation of measurement

Dynamic substructuring enables the dynamic behavior analysis of intricate systems. In this context, the precise description of individual subsystem interfaces is crucial. Coupling components through virtual points is suitable, especially when it comes to experimental substructuring. The complex contact situations that arise from joint descriptions in thin-walled structures, like those found in vehicle seats, present a challenging task. This investigation aims to visualize the complex coupling of thin-walled structures by applying the virtual point transformation. Individual subsystems are analyzed through experiments and coupled using the Lagrange multiplier frequency-based substructuring to achieve this goal. For validation purposes, a completely assembled vehicle seat has been investigated. Identification of the connecting elements between the substructures is achieved using decoupling techniques. As a result, the stiffness of the sleeve can be determined through various approaches

Innovators at NASA Johnson Space Center have developed a method and apparatus to multiplex Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) signals efficiently. The resulting Hyper-Distributed RFID Antenna (HYDRA) system enhances distribution of the RFID reader signal, providing improved coverage for large areas as well as for small, fixed regions requiring a high density of reader antennas. This greater coverage translates into better RFID sensing capabilities, higher localization accuracy, and enhanced logistics awareness
The paper presents a theoretical framework for the detection and first-level preliminary identification of potential defects on aero-structure components by employing ultrasonic-guided wave-based structural health monitoring strategies, systems and tools. In particular, we focus our study on ground inspection using a laser-Doppler scan of the surface velocity field, which can also be partly reconstructed or monitored using point sensors and actuators structurally integrated. Using direct wavefield data, we first question the detectability of potential defects of unknown location, size, and detailed features. Defects could be manufacturing defects or variations, which may be acceptable from a design and qualification standpoint; however, those may cause significant background signal artefacts in differentiating structure progressive damage or sudden failure like impact-induced damage and fracture. We consider the surface velocity field over continuous time stamps obtained from laser

Verification and validation (V&V) of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is a challenging task. AVs must be thoroughly tested, to ensure their safe functionality in complex traffic situations including rare but safety-relevant events. Furthermore, AVs must mitigate risks and hazards that result from functional insufficiencies, as described in the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) standard. SOTIF analysis includes iterative identification of driving scenarios that are not only unsafe, but also unknown. However, identifying SOTIF’s unknown-unsafe scenarios is an open challenge. In this paper we proposed a systematic optimization-based approach for identification of unknown-unsafe scenarios. The proposed approach consists of three main steps including data collection, feature extraction and optimization towards unknown unsafe scenarios. In the data collection step, we proposed an efficient way of data collection by focusing on key areas of the Operational Design Domain (ODD) (e.g

As a key technology of intelligent transportation system, vehicle type recognition plays an important role in ensuring traffic safety,optimizing traffic management and improving traffic efficiency, which provides strong support for the development of modern society and the intelligent construction of traffic system. Aiming at the problems of large number of parameters, low detection efficiency and poor real-time performance in existing vehicle type recognition algorithms, this paper proposes an improved vehicle type recognition algorithm based on YOLOv5. Firstly, the lightweight network model MobileNet-V3 is used to replace the backbone feature extraction network CSPDarknet53 of the YOLOv5 model. The parameter quantity and computational complexity of the model are greatly reduced by replacing the standard convolution with the depthwise separable convolution, and enabled the model to maintain higher accuracy while having faster reasoning speed. Secondly, the attention mechanism in

In the field of autonomous driving trajectory planning, it’s virtual to ensure real-time planning while guaranteeing feasibility and robustness. Current widely adopted approaches include decoupling path planning and velocity planning based on optimization method, which can’t always yield optimal solutions, especially in complex dynamic scenarios. Furthermore, search-based and sampling-based solutions encounter limitations due to their low resolution and high computational costs. This paper presents a novel spatio-temporal trajectory planning approach that integrates both search-based planning and optimization-based planning method. This approach retains the advantages of search-based method, allowing for the identification of a global optimal solution through search. To address the challenge posed by the non-convex nature of the original solution space, we introduce a spatio-temporal semantic corridor structure, which constructs a convex feasible set for the problem.

Water content estimation is a key problem for studying the PEM fuel cell. When several hundred fuel cells are connected in serial and their active surface area is enlarged for sufficient power, the difference between cells becomes significant with respect to voltage and water content. The voltage of each cell is measurable by the cell voltage monitor (CVM) while it is difficult to estimate water content of the individual. Resistance of the polymer electrolyte membrane is monotonically related to its water content, so that the new online high frequency resistance (HFR) measurement technique is investigated to identify the uniformity of water content between cells and analyze its sensitivity to operating conditions in this paper. Firstly, the accuracy of the proposed technique is experimentally validated to be comparable to that of a commercialized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement equipment. Secondly, the HFR of each cell of a 164-cell and 270 cm2 stack is

As a key tool to maintain urban cleanliness and improve the road environment, road cleaning vehicles play an important role in improving the quality of life of residents. However, the traditional road cleaning vehicle requires the driver to monitor the situation of road garbage at all times and manually operate the cleaning process, resulting in an increase in the driver 's work intensity. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a road garbage recognition algorithm based on improved YOLOv5, which aims to reduce labor consumption and improve the efficiency of road cleaning. Firstly, the lightweight network MobileNet-V3 is used to replace the backbone feature extraction network of the YOLOv5 model. The number of parameters and computational complexity of the model are greatly reduced by replacing the standard convolution with the deep separable convolution, which enabled the model to have faster reasoning speed while maintaining higher accuracy. Secondly, the attention mechanism in

This paper delves into the investigation of flatness-based active damping control for hybrid vehicle transmissions. The main objective is to improve the current in-production controller performances without the need for additional sensors or observers. The primary goals include improving torque setpoint tracking, enhancing robustness margins, and ensuring zero steady-state torque correction. The investigation proceeds in several steps: Initially, both the general differential flatness property and the identification of flat outputs in linear dynamical systems are revisited. Subsequently, the bond graph formalism is employed to deduce straightforwardly the dynamical equations of the system. Next, a new flat output of the vehicle transmission is identified and utilized to formulate the trajectory tracking controller to align with the required control objectives and to fulfill the system constraints. Lastly, the efficacy of the novel control system is evaluated through simulation, and its

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes procedure for the issuance and assignment of a World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) on a uniform basis to vehicle manufacturers who may desire to incorporate it in their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN). This recommended practice is intended to be used in conjunction with the recommendations for VIN systems described in SAE J853, J187, J272, and other SAE reports for VIN systems. These procedures were developed to assist in identifying the vehicle as to its point of origin. It was felt that review and coordination of the WMI by a single organization would avoid duplication of manufacturer identifiers and assist in the identification of vehicles by agencies such as those concerned with motor vehicle titling and registration, law enforcement, and theft recovery

In the context of distributed-driven electric vehicles, the temperature of permanent magnet in-wheel motors tends to rise during prolonged and overload operating conditions. This temperature increase can lead to parameter drift in the motors, resulting in a decline in motor control performance, and in severe cases, motor failures. To address these issues, this paper establishes a motor parameter identification model based on the dq-axis stator current equation of the permanent magnet in-wheel motor. An improved Particle Swarm Optimization PSO algorithm is introduced to identify parameters such as motor resistance, inductance, and magnetic flux. In contrast to traditional parameter identification algorithms based on mathematical models, the improved PSO algorithm can simultaneously identify multiple parameters without encountering rank deficiency issues. Moreover, to overcome the slow convergence speed and low identification accuracy associated with traditional PSO algorithms, the

Global auto supplier Schaeffler Group has a message for the EV motor market: the company is capable of building custom solutions for many different EV drivelines and use cases. And it is forthright in saying that not all mobility applications need cutting-edge technology to be effective. While some e-motor manufacturers have gone to market with a limited number of models - usually employing similar architecture but different levels of output - from which customers can select, Schaeffler insists it will consider building any motor spec brought to it. Daniel Sayre, e-motor business unit director, said the company is dedicated to adapting and working with customers to develop the best solutions for their vehicles

Since the complexity of modern vehicles is increasing continuously, car manufacturers are forced to improve the efficiency of their development process to remain profitable. A frequently mentioned measure is the consequent integration of virtual methods. In this regard, objective evaluation criteria are essential for the virtual design of driving dynamics. Therefore, this article aims to identify robust objective evaluation criteria for the nonlinear combined longitudinal and lateral dynamics of a vehicle. The article focuses on the acceleration in a turn maneuver since available objective criteria do not consider all relevant characteristics of vehicle dynamics. For the identification of the objective criteria, a generic method is developed and applied. First, an open-loop test procedure and a set of potential robust objective criteria are defined. Subsequently, suitable criteria are selected for different vehicle dynamics characteristics based on an investigation of Pearson

Product traceability is an increasingly dominant concern in healthcare, partly due to regulations like the FDA’s Unique Device Identification (UDI) Rule for medical devices and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) for pharmaceutical products. Widespread disruptions since 2020 have also exposed critical supply-chain vulnerabilities caused, in part, by a lack of visibility — with negative consequences reaching all the way to the point of care, further underlining the need for change

A method developed at NASA Johnson Space Center uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) interrogators for use with wearable active RFID sensor tags that can operate on ultra-low power. The technique uses a store-and-forward approach to manage the collection of data from RFID active tags even when they are not in range of an individual interrogator, as they move from the coverage area of one interrogator to the next. This allows the use of RFID active tags to transport sensor data in a highly complex environment where instantaneous access to an RFID interrogator cannot be guaranteed. Using this technique, an RFID active tag battery operational lifetime can be extended
