Agricultural machines nowadays use advanced satellite guidance systems that allow not only autonomous parallel guidance of machinery on the field but also enable the control of agriculture implements based on the geographical location of the field. By using aerial photogrammetry images, it is possible to identify the spots of land that require chemical protection. This information can be used to create prescription maps for the control of specialised implements, allowing the identification of weed outbreaks that require herbicide for their elimination. Using spot-spraying technologies, up to 80% of the active substance can be saved compared to the current common broadcast strategy of applying it to the entire field. This technology automatically controls the sprayer nozzles on the booms only in the spots where it is needed. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) allows us to take a detailed picture of the ground. Two main possibilities exist for collecting imagery data with an RGB or multispectral camera. One of the key requirements is the appropriate resolution of the picture, which could be controlled by flying altitude. This paper focuses on comparing RGB and multispectral gathered data toward affected spot identification.

This study aims to evaluate the viability of hydrogen fuel cell (FC) technology as a range extender in powered two-wheelers (PTWs), focusing on choosing efficient FC size and under a time-limited, constant power delivery FC control strategy. The analysis presented in this study sheds light on the feasibility of hydrogen FC technology as an alternative energy source for mobility applications. In this study, a 1D powertrain simulation model was created, which enables the efficient analysing of both fundamental and advanced behaviour of individual vehicle subsystems and control strategies, even at the early conceptual design phase. The simulation results show that hydrogen FCs are a promising technology for range extension in urban mobility.

Due to growing concerns about the climate change situation, an increasing number of restrictions are being introduced. One of them is the shift towards smaller and lighter vehicles that are less demanding to produce, operate, and subsequently recycle. These are specifically L6 and L7 vehicles (four-wheelers called quadricycles). In addition, even for these vehicles, there is an attempt to make their operation even more environmentally sustainable by introducing government regulations on the powertrain, which will have to be purely electric from 2035. However, the growing popularity of these vehicles has one major drawback: safety. In the framework of the urban electric vehicle project located at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences, CTU in Prague, from the already mentioned category, safety is one of the main topics we want to address. This paper discusses the passive safety of quadricycles and the role of FEM simulations throughout the design and development phase of vehicles. The main objective is to validate the main frame of the developed vehicle at an extensive range of impact velocities. In this way, the behavior of the proposed front crumple zone design and their roles in frontal impact can be determined. The metrics to be monitored are, for example, the maximum accelerations on the structure in each part of the frontal crumple zone or the preservation of the survival space.

The world is gradually moving towards green solutions in all industries. This is the case in the automotive industry as well and it is logical that vehicle simulators must follow this trend and functionally approach the increasingly widespread battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The differences in the parameters of vehicle simulators with alternative powertrains have already been covered. This paper deals with the modification of both the simulator hardware and software to improve the behavior of the physical vehicle model, representing all functions through a programmable human machine interface (HMI) and providing an approximation of the driving experience of a real vehicle. The topic of this paper first describes the functional scheme and physical model of the simulator adapted for HMI simulations of BEVs and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). A prototype design of the virtual cockpit is also described. Then, the design of the experiment is explained to validate the displayed and recorded values through a qualitative study by pilot testing on a vehicle simulator. A discussion of the measured results is concluded.

The present paper focuses on vehicle simulator fidelity, particularly the effect of motion cues intensity on driver performance. The 6-DOF motion platform was used in the experiment; however, we mainly focused on one characteristic of driving behavior. The braking performance of 24 participants in a car simulator was recorded and analyzed. The experiment scenario was composed of acceleration to 120 km/h followed by smooth deceleration to a stop line with prior warning signs at distances of 240, 160, and 80 m to the finish line. To assess the effect of the motion cues, each driver performed the run three times with different motion platform settings-no motion, moderate motion, and maximal possible response and range. The results from the driving simulator were compared with data acquired in an equivalent driving scenario performed in real conditions on a polygon track and taken as reference data. The driving simulator and real car accelerations were recorded using the Xsens MTi-G sensor. The outcomes confirmed the hypothesis that driving with a higher level of motion cues in the driving simulator brought more natural braking behavior of the experimental drivers, better correlated with the real car driving test data, although exceptions were found.

Engine or battery powered two-wheeled vehicles are an essential part of the transport system. Its users are however more vulnerable in comparison to personal vehicles. In general, compared to four-wheel vehicles, even a small percentage of accidents including motorcycles causes a significant share of all fatalities in the Czech Republic. Two-wheelers nowadays face the challenge of electric propulsion and wider user adoption. This fact emphasizes the need for rider behavior assessment. One of the ways of examining rider behavior in a safe and scientific environment is an interactive vehicle simulator. In order to develop a complex semi-active motorcycle simulator, a virtual model in Unity platform was created. The main purpose of this paper is to verify the longitudinal dynamics of the physical model for emerging the interactive simulator. To achieve this goal, crucial parameters of the model were set. For validation of the model, we defined several riding scenarios. Based on the data measured during a track test experiment in a real environment, further needed model parameters were indirectly defined. The results show that the output of the longitudinal dynamics model closely correlates with the real data gathered on the track.

Nowadays we are facing the transition from human-driven vehicles to the higher levels of automated driving, where the driver's primary role does not have to be the driving as in its classical meaning. As the driving task would not be the primary, we can expect driver and all passengers to perform new activities while being in the vehicle. In this article we analyse results of four crash tests. One of them has a specific configuration, where the driver crash test dummy is set to the situation of the level four of the automated driving as if were carrying out some activity on the notebook. The research focuses moreover on free objects and the risks that they represent during the accident for passengers. The results of all four tests are mutually compared and discussed to get the idea how the unusual driver position including working activity could influence the impacts on human passengers. Other three configurations represent standard lateral crash test, frontal impact into the rigid barrier and the crash of the motorcycle. The results measured on the rider show extreme situation to which we can compare absolute values of drivers from the rest of analysed crash test. In the assessment we follow the parameters linked to the acting vehicles and of course parameters describing the impacts on drivers.

Electric powered motorbikes nowadays rapidly increase ratio across micro-mobility shared services. This trend is in addition supported with smart city development. The electric powered bikes bring specifics for the riders in sense of motorcycle control. Electric powertrain has different complex features that rider has to deal with and it is not primarily trained for. Current research typically copes with challenges such as route planning, travel range, daily recharging etc. Therefore, the research deals not only with external characteristics, but also with internal factors which can be affected by rider. This article aims to the specifics of riding the electric motorcycle compared to the conventional petrol powertrain. It is important to define crucial parameter trends to follow these specifics to increase safety of users and thus the traffic safety in the smart cities.
