Global Path Planning in Gaussian Probabilistic Maps

Alvaro Sánchez Miralles; Miguel Ángel Sanz Bobi

This paper is focused on path planning in environments modelled using continuous probabilistic maps, in particular, maps where obstacles are modelled using the sum of Gaussian distributions. Potential field and roadmap based methods are suitable for these type of maps, but they have some disadvantages. In order to attenuate the disadvantages of the previous methods, a new method has been proposed which is a mixture of them. It performs path planning based on a potential field taking into account a roadmap as a source of potential. Moreover, some experiments have been done in order to compare the performance of them.This paper is focused on path planning in environments modelled using continuous probabilistic maps, in particular, maps where obstacles are modelled using the sum of Gaussian distributions.

Business Models Towards the Effective Integration of Electric Vehicles in the Grid

Alvaro Sánchez Miralles; Tomás Gómez San Román; Ismael Jaime Fernández Fernández; C.F. Calvillo

To achieve an effective integration of the electric vehicle in the grid, not only technical issues must be solved, but also a new regulatory context and business models must be proposed. This paper proposes two electric vehicle integration business models; one resembles the mobile-phone business, while the other is more based on current practices in the electricity-supply business. Decomposition into three layers: physical, management, and business, is used to describe those business models. Furthermore, electric vehicle charging scenarios are presented to illustrate how the proposed business models fit in each of the potential situations. Finally, several practical study cases are presented.

Webpage application and creation for customer services on optimum routing search in the city of Bilbao

Aitor P. Zabala; Phillippe Moeyersoms; Christos S. Ioakimidis; Konstantinos N. Genikomsakis; Alvaro Sánchez Miralles

ReadyToGo is a short term e-vehicle leasing, sharing and pooling system. This kind of service allows the user to make a reservation for an electric vehicle (car, bike or motorbike) and to pick up in any of the seven points around the city of Bilbao and to drop off in another point. When a user makes a reservation, he is given the option to publish the route that he is going to follow in order to allow other users to see it and make a request to pick them up in a specified point (of the route). This service is a part of a larger project at the University of Deusto on Smart Grids (UDSmartGridTM), Spain. The aim of this project is to serve the mobility needs of students, academics and administration staff from their residential point to the University Campus of Deusto.

Christos S. Ioakimidis; Aitor P. Zabala; Dragan Simic; Dionisis Kehagias; Alvaro Sánchez Miralles

The objective of this work is to present the use of a Smart Phone operation as part of a larger project at the University of Deus to on Smart Grids (UDS mart GridTM), Spain, as the way of being able to make a reservation of an electric vehicle service under a short-term leasing/sharing/pooling case study. The ReadyToCharge@ is an intelligent system application protocol that has as a purpose to be able to be used by the customer of such a service in a very and simple efficient way. The technologies used are the Google API 7, the Eclipse software and the SQLite Manager.

A Neural-based Model for Fast Continuous and Global Robot Location

Alvaro Sánchez Miralles; Miguel Ángel Sanz Bobi

One of the problems in the field of mobile robotics is the estimation of the robot position in an environment. This paper proposes a model for estimating a confidence interval of the robot position in order to compare it with the estimation made by a dead-reckoning system. Both estimations are fused using heuristic rules. The positioning model is very valuable in estimating the current robot position with or without knowledge about the previous positions. Furthermore, it is possible to define the degree of knowledge of the robot previous position, making it possible to adapt the estimation by varying this knowledge degree. This model is based on a one-pass neural network which adapts itself in real time and learns about the relationship between the measurements from sensors and the robot position.
