Abstract and Figures

Our hypothesis was that the ecosystem of self-driving cars could be treated as a complex system. The proof of this was based on the definition of self-driving car ecosystem and definition of complex system. We not found definition for ecosystem of self-driving cars. That's why we made our own definition of self-driving car ecosystem. Self-driving car ecosystem is all technology and person and service that connect to the self-driving car and have effect to the self-driving car technology, self-driving car design, self-driving car traffic, self-driving car environment (infrastructure), self-driving car maintenance, self-driving car education and self-driving car law.

  • Jan 2020
In our current study, we are aiming to explore data management methods in Smart City systems. In data management, AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be used as well. Solutions for the usage of AI and integration into Smart City concept will be researched as well. Main motivation of the study is to draw attention to one of the most important element of Smart Cities, to the flow of data. Our study provide a possible solution for managing data and keep data up-to-date in such systems with the usage of newest technology possibilities. While explaining the solution, we will give all the necessary details about the data flow model between the AI based system and humans who are using the Smart City. For managing the data-flow, we would like to use Big Data methods extended with other required methods. We are using the term of Big Data as a technology maximizing computation power and algorithmic accuracy to gather, analyze, link, and compare large data sets [1] connecting with AI solutions.
Komplex rendszerek kommunikációjának hatásai és tervezési irányelvei - EFFECTS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATING IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS

  • Nov 2019
A komplex rendszerek térnyerése jelentős méreteket öltött. A számosság növekedése és a felhasználási körülményekből következően a hibák, balesetek kockázata növekszik. Ez a kockázat a komplex rendszerek tervezése által csökkenthető. A komplex rendszerek elosztott együttműködő alrendszerek kommunikációjának együtteséből épülnek fel. A tervezés két fő részre bontható, a részegységek viselkedése és a részegységek együttműködése. A részegységek kommunikációját és együttműködését a protokoll írja le. A komplex rendszerek lehetnek nyitottak és zártak, de protokoll tekintetében mindig nyitottként kell kezelni, tehát nem lehet megbízni a részegységekben az elvárt viselkedés betartásában. A protokoll feladata a részegységek hibájának és a protokoll belső hibájának eszkalációját gátolni. A jelenlegi komplex rendszerek tervezési módszereit tekintjük át és foglaljuk össze. Ezek eredményes módszereit integráljuk egy komplex rendszer tervezési iránymutató-ajánlásban. The expansion of complex systems has taken on considerable proportions. Due to the increase in numericity and the conditions of use, the risk of errors and accidents increases. Reducing this risk can be obtained by designing complex systems. Complex systems are built up of a combination of distributed collaborative subsystems. The design can be divided into two main parts, the behaviour of the components and the overall operation of the components. The protocol describes the communication and collaboration of the components. Complex systems can be open and closed, but they should always be treated as open in terms of protocol, so one cannot trust the units to follow the expected behaviour. The task of the protocol is to prevent escalation of the component failure and the internal error of the protocol. The design of the current complex systems is reviewed and summarised. Their effective methods are integrated into a complex system design guideline.
AMBIENTALLY AWARE BI-FUNCTIONAL GROUND-AERIAL ROBOT-SENSOR NETWORKED SYSTEM FOR REMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING TASKS
Conference Paper

  • Jun 2011
The paper regards technical aspects of development of a prototype of small or middle-size, bi-functional, ground-aerial remotely controlled robot-sensor networked system for environmental exploration, remote surveillance, monitoring and risk management. The proposed bi-functional robotic system is imagined to perform different environmental tasks such as remote surveillance (urban and rural areas), monitoring of urban traffic system and civil engineering infrastructure (highway system, city bridges, road protection barriers, electric power-transmission lines, canalization, water pipelines , irrigation channels, etc.), inspection of health-destructive areas (due to chemical pollution or radiation), rescue and recovery missions (fires and floods), risk management activities (alarming, evacuation) during and postpone different hazardous situations and natural disasters), etc. Prototyping of one such bi-functional robot-sensor network system assumes assembling and integration of a wheeled mobile robot as carrier-platform of unmanned aerial vehicle such as micro copter (e.g. quad rotor or hex rotor) together with corresponding sensorial and video equipment and their customization to the specific task requirements. In the paper, a global control architecture, communication scheme and model of one such advanced system is presented.

In addition to mechanical changes automation plays an increasingly important role in the evolution of vehicles. The development of autonomous automobiles is the driving force behind the evolution of the information technology (IT) infrastructure in vehicles. Self-reliance requires more and more automation. Enhanced level of automation requires increased operational reliability. This will also resulting an increased level of safety in the cyberspace of vehicles. Endangering cyberspace can also come from a threat of natural and human origin. IT security is the protection against threats of natural origin. It includes protection against natural and technological impacts. For these reasons, it is important to increase IT security in the IT infrastructure of vehicles. This article examines IT security increasing system building technologies from the aspect of the overall IT infrastructure of vehicles. These technologies enable faster processing, increased availability and greater flexibility. The study requires the creation of a new vehicle automation categorization.

Our article is discussing the methodical basics of planning smart mobility. Smart mobility is one the main elements of a smart system. According to the methodology presented in our article, transportation in a smart city can be developed in a safe form, focusing on two main elements: safety and security planning of smart mobility. Intelligent (transportation) infrastructures and autonomous intelligent vehicles will be integrated in a common system in order to achieve the digital transformation of the transportation system. The aim of this research is to examine questions raised in relation to the control and communication of autonomous vehicles and vehicle systems. The development of autonomous intelligent vehicles and vehicle systems is based on the further development of the cooperating intelligent transportation systems to achieve smart mobility. The research aims to find such methods and procedures which help the safety planning of increasingly complex cyber-physical systems and system elements used in autonomous intelligent vehicles and transport systems, in view of aspects of safety and operational risks.
The Rise of Self-Driving Cars: Is the Private International Law Framework for non-contractual obligations posing a bump in the road?

  • Feb 2018
This article focusses on some implications related to the commercialisation of self-driving or autonomous cars. Such vehicles are no longer a mere futuristic idea. They could soon be available on the market. Society in general and the applicable rules in particular will undergo a transformation following the introduction of autonomous vehicles. Despite the many benefits, self-driving cars also pose several challenges. These do not only relate to technical aspects but also to the influence of the autonomisation of traffic on infrastructure and employment in different sectors. More importantly, several legal challenges will need to be addressed as well before society will be able to fully enjoy the benefits of self-driving cars. The question as to who should be held liable for damage caused by self-driving car has already been addressed in academia. Less attention has been devoted to the relationship between autonomous vehicles and the existing private international law rules in the European Union. Although the application of the current jurisdictional and conflict of laws rules does not present problems, the membership of some EU Member States of the 1971 Hague Traffic Accidents Convention and/or the 1973 Hague Products Liability Convention impedes the harmonisation of conflict of laws rules in non-contractual matters as envisaged by the Rome II Regulation. In cases concerning liability arising from traffic accidents and in product liability cases, different Member States courts sometimes apply a different national law. This reduces foreseeability and legal certainty.
