IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, VOL. 15, NO. 4, AUGUST 2014 1381 Scanning the Issue and Beyond: Parallel Driving With Software Vehicular Robots for Safety and Smartness First, I would like to thank our Guest Editors Cristina Olaverri- despite the presence of sensor saturation, measurement noise, Monreal and Rosaldo J. F. Rossetti for their hard work and great and near-field effects of the magnetic field. effort for the special issue on “Human Factors in Intelligent Modeling and Detecting Aggressiveness from Driving Vehicles.” The special issue and our white paper on smart Signals grid and intelligent vehicles have reminded me of some old A. B. R. González, M. R. Wilby, J. J. Vinagre Díaz, and and new works I have conducted more than a decade ago and C. Sánchez Ávila recently, which are in my thoughts on a new direction for intel- Driving aggressiveness is modeled as a linear filter operating ligent vehicle research in this issue: parallel driving for safety on external driving signals, such as lateral and longitudinal and smartness. Please check @IEEE-TITS (http://www.weibo. accelerations, and speed. This model is validated via an exper- com/u/3967923931) on Weibo (an extended Chinese version iment conducted under real driving conditions subject to both of Twitter), /IEEEITS on Facebook, smooth and aggressive behaviors. The obtained results confirm and @IEEEITS (/IEEEITS) on Twitter for the validity of the model of aggressiveness. In addition, they any news regarding IEEE ITSS, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON show the generality of this model and its applicabil
