Transfer presentation
Questions from floor
- shape appears as a larger animal both in cluster and flocks
- aerodynamics, or wing shape reynolds number
- why no simulations
- easy to produce 50cm gap with cars, use collision avoidance system
- UAV formation — why use one, what is need
- “new shape” for benefit of effect discovered. Show through simulation. Design and optimise unusual car shapes
- information exchange between cars non-easy / difficult to achieve. Control through optic flow.
- vehicle routing and requirement for safety: do birds bump into each other?
- couple with other solutions for safety.
- stabiliyt of flocks cf. vehicles moving at same speed / velocity
- stability and noise / disturbance
Comments
- pictched at easy level — e.g. add in equations for boids
- try not to use mathematical equations / constructs in bullets or quoloqualisms
- could show videos
- less use of “okay” at end of sentence
Transfer examination
- novel contribution: flocking to traffic flow
- lack of engineering aspects
- not swarm intelligence study
- simulated algorithms at one with simulations
- prove scientific hypothesis through simulation
- require engineering manner and approach
- needs to be mathematically sound
- next year: provide tangible simulation / meat
- peripheral / descriptive — need to implement
- build slowly: simple optimisation — one, two, three parameters; constraints
- 12 months not publishable
- explore numerically
- research methods — look into next academic year
- anova, factorial design of experiment
- action: SJN & low cost experiments
Notes
- fluent
- joining / leaving
- emprical vs numerical; strap instruments to cars
- treat current report as thesis intro
- hypothesis testing
- Thales, highway agency, traffic simulations – base data
- 10 – 15% reading per week
- 28-Nov F2F @ 2pm
