BRAIN Journal-Swarm Robotics with Circular Formation Motion Including Obstacles Avoidance-Figure 1b.The five steps of Methodology Approach

<p>The General diagram of the proposed approach is shown in Figure 1.</p> <p>A fundamental problem in collective robotics is to have the group organize into global formations or patterns. These include simple patterns like circles, lines, uniform distribution within a circle or square, etc. In the presence of a central controller, these tasks are trivial, but this is not the case in a distributed system. The main goal is to have self-autonomy robots, where each behaves independently from the others based its surrounding environment including other robots&#39; behavior. Each robot might not be aware that it works within a group. Ducatelle et al.(Ducatelle, Di Caro, Pinciroli, Mondada, &amp; Gambardella, 2011) proposed a collective behavior based on network routing, capable of guiding a robot from a source area to a target. Similarly to what happens in packet routing, the robots keep a table of the distance of other robots with respect to the target. A robot can then use the entries in the table and reach the target.&nbsp;</p>

Comparing the route-choice behavior of pedestrians around obstacles in a virtual experiment and a field study

<p>There is a great controversy about the application of virtual experiment in pedestrian routing behavior research. We conducted field observations and virtual experiment to study the route choice behavior of pedestrians. The route choice behavior around obstacles are compared qualitatively. The results shows that distance to the exit routes as well as the density around the exits show great influence on the pedestrians&#39; route choice behavior while the speed of frontal pedestrians shows no obvious impact on the route choice. Pedestrians prefer to choose local closer exit or the exit with less occupants. The results of logistic regression show that the similar results can be obtained in virtual experiment and field observation qualitatively. This work can verify the validity of the virtual experiment for studying route choice behavior of pedestrians, which is of great importance for the application of virtual experiment.</p> <p>The files are trajectories of the recorded videos in the field observation.</p>

Estimated stand-off distance between ADS-B equipped aircraft and obstacles

<p><strong>Summary</strong>:</p> <p>Estimated stand-off distance between ADS-B equipped aircraft and obstacles. Obstacle information was sourced from the FAA Digital Obstacle File and the FHWA National Bridge Inventory. Aircraft tracks were sourced from processed data curated from the OpenSky Network. Results are presented as histograms organized by aircraft type and distance away from runways.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong></p> <p>For many aviation safety studies, aircraft behavior is represented using encounter models, which are statistical models of how aircraft behave during close encounters. They are used to provide a realistic representation of the range of encounter flight dynamics where an aircraft collision avoidance system would be likely to alert. These models currently and have historically have been limited to interactions between aircraft; they have not represented the specific interactions between obstacles and aircraft equipped transponders. In response, we calculated the standoff distance between obstacles and ADS-B equipped manned aircraft.</p> <p>For robustness, this assessment considered two different datasets of manned aircraft tracks and two datasets of obstacles. For robustness, MIT LL calculated the standoff distance using two different datasets of aircraft tracks and two datasets of obstacles. This approach aligned with the <a href="https://doi.org/10.2514/1.D0091">foundational research</a> used to support the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1520/F3442_F3442M-20">ASTM F3442/F3442M-20</a> well clear criteria of 2000 feet laterally and 250 feet AGL vertically.</p> <p>The two datasets of processed tracks of ADS-B equipped aircraft curated from the OpenSky Network. It is likely that rotorcraft were underrepresented in these datasets. There were also no considerations for aircraft equipped only with Mode C or not equipped with any transponders. The first dataset was used to train the <a href="https://github.com/Airspace-Encounter-Models/em-model-manned-bayes/releases/tag/v1.3">v1.3 uncorrelated encounter models</a> and referred to as the &ldquo;Monday&rdquo; dataset. The second dataset is referred to as the &ldquo;aerodrome&rdquo; dataset and was used to train the v2.0 and v3.x terminal encounter model. The Monday dataset consisted of 104 Mondays across North America. The other dataset was based on observations at least 8 nautical miles within Class B, C, D aerodromes in the United States for the first 14 days of each month from January 2019 through February 2020. Prior to any processing, the datasets required 714 and 847 Gigabytes of storage. For more details on these datasets, please refer to &quot;Correlated Bayesian Model of Aircraft Encounters in the Terminal Area Given a Straight Takeoff or Landing&quot; and &ldquo;Benchmarking the Processing of Aircraft Tracks with Triples Mode and Self-Scheduling.&rdquo;</p> <p>Two different datasets of obstacles were also considered. First was point obstacles defined by the FAA digital obstacle file (DOF) and consisted of point obstacle structures of antenna, lighthouse, meteorological tower (met), monument, sign, silo, spire (steeple), stack (chimney; industrial smokestack), transmission line tower (t-l tower), tank (water; fuel), tramway, utility pole (telephone pole, or pole of similar height, supporting wires), windmill (wind turbine), and windsock. Each obstacle was represented by a cylinder with the height reported by the DOF and a radius based on the report horizontal accuracy. We did not consider the actual width and height of the structure itself. Additionally, we only considered obstacles at least 50 feet tall and marked as verified in the DOF.</p> <p>The other obstacle dataset, termed as &ldquo;bridges,&rdquo; was based on the identified bridges in the FAA DOF and additional information provided by the National Bridge Inventory. Due to the potential size and extent of bridges, it would not be appropriate to model them as point obstacles; however, the FAA DOF only provides a point location and no information about the size of the bridge. In response, we correlated the FAA DOF with the National Bridge Inventory, which provides information about the length of many bridges. Instead of sizing the simulated bridge based on horizontal accuracy, like with the point obstacles, the bridges were represented as circles with a radius of the longest, nearest bridge from the NBI. A circle representation was required because neither the FAA DOF or NBI provided sufficient information about orientation to represent bridges as rectangular cuboid. Similar to the point obstacles, the height of the obstacle was based on the height reported by the FAA DOF. Accordingly, the analysis using the bridge dataset should be viewed as risk averse and conservative. It is possible that a manned aircraft was hundreds of feet away from an obstacle in actuality but the estimated standoff distance could be significantly less. Additionally, all obstacles are represented with a fixed height, the potentially flat and low level entrances of the bridge are assumed to have the same height as the tall bridge towers. The attached figure illustrates an example simulated bridge.</p> <p>It would had been extremely computational inefficient to calculate the standoff distance for all possible track points. Instead, we define an encounter between an aircraft and obstacle as when an aircraft flying 3069 feet AGL or less comes within 3000 feet laterally of any obstacle in a 60 second time interval. If the criteria were satisfied, then for that 60 second track segment we calculate the standoff distance to all nearby obstacles. Vertical separation was based on the MSL altitude of the track and the maximum MSL height of an obstacle.</p> <p>For each combination of aircraft track and obstacle datasets, the results were organized seven different ways. Filtering criteria were based on aircraft type and distance away from runways. Runway data was sourced from the FAA runways of the United States, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands <a href="https://adds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/4d8fa46181aa470d809776c57a8ab1f6_0/about">open dataset</a>.

Given the limitations of the dataset and a need for more research, a more restrictive license was warranted. Namely it is based only on only observations of ADS-B equipped aircraft, which not all aircraft in the airspace are required to employ; and observations were source from a crowdsourced network whose surveillance coverage has not been robustly characterized.</p> <p>As more research is conducted and the low altitude airspace is further characterized or regulated, it is expected that a future version of this dataset may have a more permissive license.</p> <p><strong>Distribution Statement</strong></p> <p>DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A.

Vision-Based Obstacle Detection on Rail Tracks

<p><strong>Acknowledgement and Disclaimers</strong></p> <p>These data are a product of a research activity conducted in the context of the <a href="http://rails-project.eu">RAILS (Roadmaps for AI&nbsp;integration in the raiL Sector) project</a>. RAILS has received funding from the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Union&rsquo;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n. 881782 Rails. The JU receives support from the European Union&rsquo;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program and the Shift2Rail JU members other than the Union.</p> <p>The information and views set out in this description are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking. The JU does not guarantee the accuracy of the data included in this dataset. Neither the JU nor any person acting on the JU&rsquo;s behalf may be held responsible for the use which may be made of the information contained therein.</p> <p>This &quot;dataset&quot; has been created for scientific purposes only to study the potentials of Deep Learning (DL) approaches when used to analyse Video Data in order to detect possible obstacles on rail tracks and thus avoid collisions. The authors DO NOT ASSUME any responsibility for the use that other researchers or users will make of these data.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Objectives of the Study</strong></p> <p>RAILS defined some&nbsp;pilot case studies to&nbsp;develop Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs), which are&nbsp;conceived as benchmarks,&nbsp;with the aim of providing insight towards the definition of technology roadmaps that could support future research and/or&nbsp;the deployment of AI applications in the rail sector. In this context, the main objectives of the specific PoC &quot;Vision-Based Obstacle Detection on Rail Tracks&quot; were&nbsp;to investigate: i) solutions for the generation of synthetic data, suitable for the training of DL models; and ii) the potential of DL applications when it comes to detecting any kind of obstacles on rail tracks while exploiting video data from a single RGB camera.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>A Brief Overview of the Approach</strong></p> <p>A&nbsp;multi-modular approach has been proposed to achieve the objectives mentioned above. The resulting architecture includes&nbsp;the following modules:</p> <ul> <li>The Rails Detection Module (RDM)&nbsp;detects rail tracks. The output of the RDM is used by the ODM and ADM.</li> <li>The Object Detection Module (ODM)&nbsp;detects obstacles whose type is known in advance.</li> <li>The Anomaly Detection Module (ADM)&nbsp;identifies&nbsp;any possible anomaly on rail tracks.&nbsp;These include obstacles whose type&nbsp;is not known in advance.</li> <li>The Obstacle Detection Module&nbsp;merges&nbsp;the outputs from the ODM and the ADM.</li> <li>The&nbsp;Distance Estimation Module&nbsp;estimates the distance of objects and anomalies from the train.</li> </ul> <p>The research was specifically oriented at implementing the RDM-ADM pipeline. Indeed, the&nbsp;object detection approaches that would be used to implement the ODM have been widely investigated by the research community, instead, to the best of our knowledge, limited work has been done in the rails field in the context of anomaly detection.&nbsp;The RDM has been realised by adopting a <em>Semantic Segmentation</em> approach based on <em>U-Net</em>; while, to develop the ADM, a <em>Vector-Quantized Variational Autoencoder</em> trained in <em>Unsupervised </em>mode was leveraged. Further details can be found in the RAILS <a href="http://rails-project.eu/downloads/deliverables/">&quot;Deliverable D2.3: WP2 Report on experimentation, analysis, and discussion of results&quot;</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Steps to implement the RDM-ADM pipeline and description of shared Data</strong></p> <p>The following list reports all the steps that have been performed to implement the&nbsp;RDM-ADM pipeline; the words&nbsp;in bold-italic refer to the files that are shared within this dataset:</p> <ol> <li>A Railway Scenario was generated in MathWorks&#39;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mathworks.com/products/roadrunner.html">RoadRunner</a>.</li> <li>A video (<strong><em>FreeTrackVideo</em></strong>) was recorded by simulating an RGB camera mounted in front of the train; no obstacles on rail tracks were considered in this phase.</li> <li>2000 frames (<strong><em>FreeTrack2KFrames</em></strong>) were extracted from the aforementioned video. The video contains 4143 frames, however, only 2000 (each other frame starting from the first one) were taken into account due to training time and GPU RAM constraints.</li> <li>Only 10% of the 2000 frames were manually labelled (i.e., 200 frames, a frame every 10 frames) by exploiting LabelMe; these frames were then subdivided into training and validation sets (<strong><em>InitialLabelledSet</em></strong>).</li> <li>Hence, a Semi-Automatic labelling algorithm was developed by leveraging self-training and transfer learning. This algorithm made it possible to label all the FreeTrack2KFrames starting from the InitialLabelledSet. The resulting labels can be found in <strong><em>FreeTrack2KLabels</em></strong>.</li> <li>Data Augmentation was then performed in order to introduce some aleatory in the dataset. Because of the same time and RAM constraints mentioned above, the FreeTrack2KFrames set of data was reduced further: 1600 frames were selected among the aforementioned 2000 and then 5 transformations (Bright, Dark, Rain, Shadow, and Sun Flare) were applied to obtain the dataset (<em><strong>FreeTrack16TrainSet</strong>, <strong>FreeTrack16ValSet</strong>, <strong>FreeTrack16TestSet</strong></em>) that was used to train, validate, and test the RDM.</li> <li>Once the RDM was trained, the FreeTrackVideo was processed to obtain the masked frames that were then used to build the dataset(s) to train, validate, and test the ADM. The ADM was studied by considering two different datasets: the <em>Non-Anomaly Dataset</em> (<strong><em>NAD</em></strong>), which basically contains all the frames of the FreeTrackVideo once processed by the RDM; and the <em>Augmented Non-Anomaly Dataset (<strong>A-NAD</strong>)</em>, which contains 9000 frames, 1500 of which were extracted from the NAD, while the remaining 7500 were obtained by applying the same transformations mentioned above.</li> <li>Lastly, when both the RDM and the ADM were trained, the performances of the whole RDM-ADM pipeline were tested on the <strong><em>WithCarVideo</em></strong>&nbsp;which depicts the same scenario as the FreeTrackVideo but it also depicts a car laying on the rail tracks (i.e., an obstacle).</li> </ol>
