Road Disturbance Estimation and Cloud-Aided Comfort-Based Route Planning.

This paper investigates a comfort-based route planner that considers both travel time and ride comfort. We first present a framework of simultaneous road profile estimation and anomaly detection with commonly available vehicle sensors. A jump-diffusion process-based state estimator is developed and used along with a multi-input observer for road profile estimation.

Road Risk Modeling and Cloud-Aided Safety-Based Route Planning.

This paper presents a safety-based route planner that exploits vehicle-to-cloud-to-vehicle (V2C2V) connectivity. Time and road risk index (RRI) are considered as metrics to be balanced based on user preference. To evaluate road segment risk, a road and accident database from the highway safety information system is mined with a hybrid neural network model to predict RRI.

An approach to online identification of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models.

An approach to the online learning of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) type models is proposed in the paper. It is based on a novel learning algorithm that recursively updates TS model structure and parameters by combining supervised and unsupervised learning. The rule-base and parameters of the TS model continually evolve by adding new rules with more summarization power and by modifying existing rules and parameters.
