The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of heart rate variability (HRV) and its specific parameters as a new approach to assess stress load in cattle. We recorded HRV in 52 calves in three groups and in 31 cows in two groups. In calves we divided Group 1 wi...

The development of high-speed rail (HSR) is expected to significantly change the long- distance travel structure and transportation patterns. The changes are expected to be not only the increase in the number of tourists who use HSR service (direct effect), but also the...

Serious traffic congestion is a major social problem in large cities. Inefficient setting of traffic signal cycles, especially, is one of the main causes of congestion. Green Wave is a method for controlling traffic signals which allows one-way traffic to pass through a...

Exchanging traffic information among nearby vehicles is one of the communication scenarios in the field of intelligent transport systems (ITS). An important question in this scenario is ”How can traffic information be delivered to only one subset of nearby vehicles in t...

<p>The purpose of this research is to realize a small robot which can negotiate pipes whose diameter varies widely during the robot's course. A new in-pipe locomotion mechanism named &#34;snaking drive&#34; is proposed in this paper and its potential and fundamental cha...

We propose a method to remove moving objects from an in-vehicle camera image sequence by fusing multiple image sequences. Driver assistance systems and services such as Google Street View require images containing no moving object. The proposed scheme consists of three ...

We propose an optical flow processor, which allows real-Time processing of WXGA 30-fps at 178.3 MHz. By introducing the SOR method and a pipeline operation for the Gauss-Seidel method to the iterative flow calculation, computational complexity can be reduced to 14.5% wh...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are useful since they can find near optimal solutions for combinatorial optimization problems quickly. Although there are many mobile/home applications of GAs such as navigation systems, QoS routing and video encoding systems, it was difficult t...
