Testing Methodology for the AEB System
No full textLõputöös uuriti automaatse hädapidurduse süsteemi toimimist ning selle tulemusel loodi lihtne,
madala hinnaga ja võimalikult ohutu AEB süsteemi testimise metoodika. Viidi läbi ka katseid, et
aidata kaasa metoodika loomisele ning ka metoodika toimimise kontrollimiseks.
Töö esimeses pooles tutvustati AEB süsteemi. Süsteemi toimimiseks vajalikke tehnoloogiaid ning
komponente. Veel toodi välja ettevõtte Euro NCAP tegevusvaldkond ning kirjeldati nende poolt
seatud kriteeriume automaatse hädapidurduse süsteemi testimiseks ning lühidalt räägiti ka katses
kasutatavast katsekehast. Lõputöö teises pooles kirjeldati, kuidas autor lähenes katse metoodika
loomisele. Teises pooles kirjeldati ka loodava testi metoodika katsetamist ja tulemusi. Lõpetuseks
Toodi välja edasine arendus vajalikkus.
Püstitatud eesmärk sai täidetud, kuid mõningaste puudustega. Automaatse hädapidurduse süsteemi
testimise metoodika sai loodud. Välja sai mõeldud katse raja ülesehitus. Valmistatud sai piisavalt
kerge katsekeha ehk auto makett. Ohutuse tõstmiseks sai metoodikale loodud ka punkt, kus süsteemi
mitte toimimisel oleks võimalik veel auto seisma pidurdada või eemale põigata Loodud testi
metoodikat katsetati kolme erineva autoga ühestel tingimustel. Kolmest autost kahe puhul toimis testi
metoodika. Ühe auto puhul pigem ei toiminud selline metoodika.
Lähtudes testi metoodika katse tulemusest tuleks katse metoodikat veel arendada ning katsetada, et
testi metoodikat saaks rakendada tehnoülevaatustel, klaasi ettevõtetel või eraisikul oleks võimalik
loodud metoodikaga ostetava auto AEB süsteemi kontrollida.The aim of the thesis is to create a testing methodology for an automatic emergency braking system
(AEB) to verify its functionality. The main keywords for the methodology to be developed were
simplicity, low cost, and safety. The methodology could be applied in various scenarios, such as glass
replacement companies, where after replacing the glass and calibrating the cameras, a test could be
carried out to ensure the correct operation of the system. It would also be a useful tool for individuals
buying a car equipped with AEB, as they could verify the functionality of the system. Additionally,
technical inspection points could use this testing methodology to verify the functionality of the system
in real-world scenarios.
The thesis examined the operation of automatic emergency braking (AEB) system and as a result, a
simple, low-cost, and as safe as possible AEB system testing methodology was developed. Tests were
conducted to contribute to the creation of the methodology and also to verify its operation.
The first part of the thesis introduced the AEB system and the technologies and components necessary
for its operation. The Euro NCAP's field of activity was also outlined, and the criteria set by them for
testing automatic emergency braking systems were described, as well as briefly discussing the test
body used in the experiment. The second part of the thesis described how the author approached the
creation of the testing methodology, and also described the testing and results of the methodology.
Finally, the need for further development was highlighted.
The set goal was achieved, albeit with some shortcomings. The automatic emergency braking system
testing methodology was created. The layout of the test track was designed, and a sufficiently
lightweight test body, i.e., a car model, was manufactured. To increase safety, a point was added to
the methodology where it would be possible to stop the car or swerve away if the system did not
function. The developed testing methodology was tested on three different cars under the same
conditions. The methodology worked for two of the three cars, but for one car, it did not work as well.
Based on the test results of the testing methodology, the methodology should be further developed
and tested so that it can be applied in technical inspections, glass companies or by individuals to check
the AEB system of a purchased car using the created methodology
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
