Mechatronics in Cyber-Humans-Vehicles System
The recent advances on computational and communication technologies have led the ground mobility into a new era where mechatronics plays an essential role. In particular, the smart mobility technologies such as vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-human communications have offered an unprecedented information richness and availability, which if utilized intelligently may enable substantial improvements on vehicle roadway safety and operational energy efficiency that are of societal importance. Synergistic combinations of physical insights into vehicle system characteristics, computational and communication capabilities, human user modeling and prediction, as well as theories of control, estimation and optimization may offer effective means for tackling the grand roadway safety and energy consumption challenges. This talk introduces a variety of smart vehicle systems multidisciplinary research activities aiming to safe and efficient ground transportation by collaboration and synergy among cyber systems, humans, and vehicles, a growing mechatronic field.
