Article Abstract

The energy utilization efficiency of autonomous electric vehicles is seriously affected by the longitudinal motion control performance. However, the longitudinal motion control is constrained by the driving scene. This article proposes an energy-saving optimization and control (ESOC) method to improve the energy utilization efficiency of autonomous electric vehicles. In ESOC, the constraints from the driving scene are thoroughly considered, and the autonomous driving scene constraints are mapped to the vehicle dynamics and control domain. On this basis, the efficiency self-searching method and the multiconstraint energy-saving control strategy are designed. The main ideology of the proposed ESOC is that the energy utilization efficiency of an autonomous electric vehicle can be improved by optimizing and controlling the operation point distribution of the powertrain efficiency. The experimental results demonstrate that the operation point distribution of the autonomous electric vehicle's powertrain efficiency can be well optimized by the proposed ESOC, and the energy consumption results indicate that the proposed ESOC outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Dysphagia, a swallowing disorder, requires continuous monitoring of throat-related events to obtain comprehensive insights into the patient's pharyngeal and laryngeal functions. However, conventional assessments were performed by medical professionals in clinical settings, limiting persistent monitoring. We demonstrate feasibility of a ubiquitous monitoring system for autonomously detecting throat-related events utilizing a soft skin-attachable throat vibration sensor (STVS).

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled vehicular communications in the sixth generation (6G) are characterized by line-of-sight (LoS) and dynamically varying channel conditions. However, the presence of obstacles in the LoS path leads to shadowed fading environments. In UAV-assisted cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication, vehicle and UAV mobility and shadowing adversely impact latency and throughput.
