Remote voltage controls by image recognitions for adaptive array antenna of vehicular delay tolerant networks

Abstract

The automatic operating system of automobiles has rapidly developed in recent, but it is expected that there are various subjects for the developments of the new applications. One of the subjects is the wireless stable connections between the automobiles because it is necessary to concern that automobiles run so fast. Moreover, there might be radio obstacles such as trees or buildings along roads. Therefore, the Delay Tolerant Network System with the Adaptive Array Antenna controlled by the image recognition is proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of the image recognitions for the target automobiles, and the proper directions of the Antenna is calculated by the Kalman Filter Algorithm. Then, the antenna direction is controlled by the differential of the given voltages between the antenna elements. The paper especially reports the implementations and the experimental results of the voltage controls for the Adaptive Array Antenna, and the future research subjects are discussed.
