However it is not well understood why and when these pedal errors happen as well as how to mitigate them. In this paper, we study pedal error events in a real-world stop-and-go driving experiment, in which we quantitatively analyze foot behavior with measurements from embedded vehicle sensors (e.g. brake or acceleration pedal state) as well as a video input looking at the driver's foot. Our analysis shows some initial insights in factors influencing pedal errors (beside other possible causes like driver age, gender, and driver workload), including Sequential Effects and Cue Modality. We also develop a new vision-based approach for driver foot behavior analysis and use it to predict brake and acceleration pedal presses. Experimental results over twelve different subjects show that the proposed approach correctly detects pedal misapplications approximately 200ms before the actual press. This indicates the potential of applying this approach to predict and mitigate pedal errors in real-world driving.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125213853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various attempts have been made to supplement GPS to improve localisation performance, but these usually require additional specialised and expensive sensors. Offering increased value to vehicle OEMs, we show that it is possible to use just the video stream from a rear parking camera to produce smooth and locally accurate visual odometry in real-time. We use an efficient whole image alignment approach based on ESM, taking account of both the difficulties and advantages of the fact that a parking camera views only the road surface directly behind a vehicle. Visual odometry is complementary to GPS in offering localisation information at 30Hz which is smooth and highly accurate locally whilst GPS is course but offers absolute measurements. We demonstrate our system in a large scale experiment covering real urban driving. We also present real-time fusion of our visual estimation with automotive GPS to generate a commodity-cost localisation solution which is smooth, accurate and drift free in global coordinates.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121114245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sophisticated critical path selection is presented and used in the critical target selection module that aims to select the most relevant target. This module is capable of identifying targets that cut into the ego lane or cut out from the ego lane and incorporate that into the final target selection. The selected target is then compared to a state of the art algorithm within the radar sensor. Additional test drives were made to evaluate the performance of the new algorithm. Due to its low computational effort and the sensor independent design the presented algorithm is suitable to be used in the automotive embedded environment.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121240378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subramanian","doi":"10.1109/IVS.2011.5940413","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IVS.2011.5940413","url":null,"abstract":"Travel time is one of the most preferred traffic information by a wide variety of travelers. Travel time information provided through variable message signs at the roadside could be viewed as a traffic management strategy designed to encourage drivers to take an alternate route. At the same time, it could also be viewed as a traveler information service designed to ensure that the driver has the best available information based on which they can make travel decisions. In an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) context, both the Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and the Advance Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) rely on accurate travel time prediction along arterials or freeways. In India, currently there is no permanent system of active test vehicles or license plate matching techniques to measure stream travel time in urban arterials. However, the public transit vehicles are being equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices in major metropolitan cities of India for providing the bus arrival time information at bus stops. However, equipping private vehicles with GPS to enable the stream travel time measurement is difficult due to the requirement of public participation. The use of the GPS equipped buses as probe vehicles and estimating the stream travel time is a possible solution to this problem. The use of public transit as probes for travel time estimation offers advantages like frequent trips during peak hours, wide range network coverage, etc. However, the travel time characteristics of public transit buses are influenced by the transit characteristics like frequent acceleration, deceleration and stops due to bus stops besides their physical characteristics. Also, the sample size of public transit is less when compared to the total vehicle population. Thus mapping the bus travel time to stream travel time is a real challenge and this difficulty is more complex in traffic conditions like in India with its heterogeneity and lack of lane discipline. As a pilot study, a model based approach using the Kalman filtering technique to predict stream travel time from public transit is carried out in the present study. Since it is only a pilot study, only twowheeled vehicles have been considered as they constitute a major proportion in the study area. The prediction scheme is corroborated using field data collected by carrying GPS units in two-wheelers traveling along with the buses under consideration. The travel time estimates from the model were compared with the manually observed travel times and the results are encouraging.","PeriodicalId":117811,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126737381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By keeping the driver in the loop, the vehicle guidance is cooperatively shared between the driver and the automation. This article introduces an approach for the analysis of realizable automation levels and the design of a cooperative system behavior depending on the interaction concept between the human driver and the automation. Following a top-down approach, different driving scenarios are systematically analyzed as to the information needs that occur.
