The continuing evolution of technologies in the automotive industry has led to the development of the so-called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). ADAS is the term used to describe vehicle-based intelligent safety systems designed to support the driver, with the aim to significantly improve his safety, and the driving safety in general. In terms of development, current ADAS technologies are based on control functions about the vehicle movements with respect to the objects and entities detected in the same environment (e.g., other vehicles, pedestrian, roads, etc.). However, there is an ever growing interest on the use of internal cameras to infer additional information regarding the driver status (e.g., weakness, level of attention). The purpose of such technologies is to provide accurate details about the environment in order to increase safety and smart driving. In the last few years, Computer Vision technology has achieved impressive results on several tasks related to recognition and detection of customized objects/entities on images and videos. However, automotive-grade devices’ hardware resources are limited, with respect to the once usually required for the implementation of modern Computer Vision algorithms. In this work, we present a benchmarking evaluation of a standard Computer Vision algorithm for the driver behaviour monitoring through face detection and analysis, comparing the performances obtained on a common laptop with the same experiments on an existing commercial automotive-grade device based on the Accordo5 processor by STMicroelectronics.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are preferred energy storage systems for vehicular applications due to the high capacity, long life, and power density. This paper offers the concept of a hybrid thermal management system (TMS), including a prismatic cell embedded fin heat sink (CHS) for high current applications. The experimental tests and numerical simulations are done to investigate the thermal characteristic of the utilized battery and CHS in natural and forced convection in 8C discharging rate (184 A). Results indicate that the maximum cell temperature in natural convection (NC) reaches 56 °C. Moreover, the temperature of the CHS in natural and forced convection reaches 51.5 °C and 31.1 °C. For further investigation, the optimization, including three cases, is done for the geometry of the forced convection cooling box. Results indicate that the maximum temperature of the CHS compared with NC reduced by 39.6%, 40.9%, and 38.4% for cases A, B, and C, respectively. In addition, there is an improvement of 6%, 28%, and 36% in the cell temperature uniformity for cases A, B, and C, respectively. It is also found that the inlet velocity of 3 m/s preserves the CHS in a safe temperature zone, which decreases the fan power consumption by 50%.

"The Stack" is the world vision developed by the American digital philosopher Benjamin H. Bratton, in his namesake ponderous essay. It is an abstraction describing a layered taxonomy based on the increasingly dominant ubiquity and pervasiveness of computation. Although "The Stack" is more a philosophical abstraction than an engineering model, it is very useful in understanding a specific technological field as a whole. Since a car is more and more a computational object, a high-speed computing platform on wheels, it is interesting to apply such a vision to the automotive field, starting from its rooting into the planet from which it draws the energetic and mineral resources, passing through the integration in clouds of services, delivered by platforms, and the "autonomization" of vehicles, up to a new form of user, that can even be "nonhuman" (see for instance the case of the autonomous vehicle). Drawing hints and visions from philosophical dissertations, technical and marketing news, white papers and academic research, this article scans the automotive field and more in general mobility and smart cities, going up the six interconnected layers of The Stack (Earth – Cloud – City – Address – Interface – User). In this frame, pushed towards a future sometimes utopian, dystopian scenarios also arise. Furthermore, vulnerabilities give place to that special kind of user that normally is called "hacker", but in the context of The Stack we call the "Anti-User", the category of users that we introduce.
“堆栈”是美国数字哲学家本杰明·h·布拉顿(Benjamin H. Bratton)在其同名的冗长文章中提出的世界愿景。它是一种抽象，描述了一种分层分类法，该分类法基于日益占主导地位的计算的普遍性和普遍性。尽管“堆栈”与其说是一个工程模型，不如说是一个哲学抽象，但它对于整体理解一个特定的技术领域是非常有用的。由于汽车是越来越多的计算对象,高速车轮上的计算平台,有趣的是这样一个视觉应用于汽车领域,从其生根的行星吸引精力充沛和矿产资源,通过集成的云服务,由平台,和车辆的“自主化”,一种新形式的用户,甚至可以“非人”(见例如自主车辆的情况下)。本文从哲学论文、技术和营销新闻、白皮书和学术研究中获得提示和愿景，扫描了汽车领域以及更广泛的移动和智慧城市，并从六个相互关联的堆栈层(地球-云-城市-地址-界面-用户)向上延伸。在这个框架下，被推向一个有时是乌托邦的未来，反乌托邦的场景也出现了。此外，漏洞让位于通常被称为“黑客”的特殊类型的用户，但在Stack的上下文中，我们称之为“反用户”，这是我们介绍的用户类别。

Automotive applications need high reliability and service continuity to support self-driving and safety in smart city environments. Suitable allocation of network functions is studied and optimal solutions based on Integer Linear Programming methodology are found. Differentiated reliability concept is applied in the presence of two different 5G classes of service, namely eMBB and URLLC. Saving of processing and bandwidth resources is numerically evaluated by combining service-based shared and dedicated protection in a reference scenario. Scalability aspects of the approach are also discussed.

In this work a comparison between 3-pin and 4-pin superjunction (SJ) MOSFET is performed. Firstly, the advantages of the 4-pin packaging solution are pointed out by means of analytical expressions and simulations. Then, a standard 3-pin MOSFET has been experimentally compared with the Kelvin package configuration counterpart both integrated in an on board battery charger. The experimental results allowed quantifying the performance improvement of the four terminal package in terms of reduced switching energy losses and working temperature. These features enable the device to operate at higher switching frequency.

This paper presents an innovative converter topology that better connects the needs of the battery pack and the electric motor towards the validation of an eco-sustainable electric mobility model. More in particular, the components of the proposed converter change their connection state during both the charging and discharging time of the battery, leading to a higher performance with respect to traditional step-down or step-up converters. The simulations carried out by means of the PLECS® environment have demonstrated the early feasibility of the proposed system.

During the last decade, Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) have been implemented on public transport vehicles to ensure the driver collision and lane departure warnings. Due to the high complexity of public roads, these systems are usually based on sensors installed on the vehicle itself, which ensures lines or obstacles recognition, providing warnings directly to the driver. Nevertheless, it is well established that information about the surroundings can be provided directly by the infrastructure. This paper presents the case study of an I2V communication network, whose target is to inform the driver about the number of people waiting at the bus shelter, and about an approaching vehicle in a blind intersection. Detections are guaranteed by cameras installed in strategical points, while communication to the bus is ensured through 4G.

Radio communications have a fundamental importance for assuring data exchange between vehicles and from infrastructures to vehicles, or vice-versa. With reference to assisted driving and even completely autonomous driving, such communications must satisfy very high degree of security, with the goal of assuring also the safety of drivers and passengers. Two frameworks are expected to provide a support for secure data transmissions: 5G technology and wireless V2X protocols. Interoperability between them and a proper interface with automotive buses are recommended, in order to reach the best performance and to decrease the costs. In this respect, an efficient use of channel coding can guarantee error correction, i.e., reliable communication, and also strong resilience against cyber attacks.

The large-signal RF power performance of an AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) is studied starting from technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations in terms of DC characteristic and S parameters. A clear procedure of physical parameters calibration is described. Trapping effects and GaN mobility model are included. Good agreement between simulations and measurements is reported, giving a meaningful starting point for the large signal model with the aim to optimize the efficiency of GaN HEMTs. The large signal model extracted is crucial to predict the device performance and give an essential contribution for the device maturity at industrial level.
