However, these emerging features also introduce the possibility of cyberattacks. A select number of ACC vehicles could be compromised to drive abnormally, causing a network-wide impact on congestion and fuel consumption. In this study, we first introduce two types of candidate attacks on ACC vehicles: malicious attacks on vehicle control commands and false data injection attacks on sensor measurements. Then, we examine the energy impacts of these candidate attacks on distinct traffic conditions involving both free flow and congested regimes to get a sense of how sensitive the flow is to these candidate attacks. Specifically, the widely used VT-Micro model is adopted to quantify vehicle energy consumption. We find that the candidate attacks introduced to ACC or partially automated vehicles may only adversely impact the fuel consumption of the compromised vehicles and may not translate to significantly higher emissions across the fleet.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129129306","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}

The underlying perceptual and cognitive processes are subject to occasional failures, which can depend in a complex way on learned heuristics and the cognitive load. Collisions between motor vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRU) in urban traffic remain frequent and have severe consequences. In this article, we study the behavior of drivers of motor vehicles turning right who are required to yield to cyclists riding straight through an intersection. A key potential error process is failure to perceive the cyclist.Methods: We conducted a trial with n = 35 subjects on our closed test track including observations of perceptual actions and gaze control, subject to variations in cognitive load and other factors. The artificial environment of a closed test track and the constraints due to ethical requirements pose challenges to the interpretation of any empirical trial. The current paper focuses on the trial design and on quantification of measurement validity.Results: Summary statistics involving trial features were assessed. Most participants reported that they performed the visual task of checking for cyclists in a manner similar to their behavior in real traffic (whether or not cyclist interactions were expected). The spatial distributions of driver glances to perceive cyclists were evaluated.Conclusion: The realism in this trial despite laboratory conditions may be attributable to ingrained skills and habits of participants. Laboratory trials can help to identify root causes of cognitive errors and ultimately guide efficient and effective deployment of bicycle safety countermeasures.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125149980","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}

Rails define the region of interest for object detection and localization algorithms of railbound vehicles, like lane markings do for automotive driver assistance functions. Looking at the analogies in significance and appearance of both, it becomes apparent that rail and lane marking detection could be solved similarly. Hence, this paper firstly introduces rail detection using an adopted version of PINet, a regression net for lane marking detection. The network is completely re-trained using a novel loss function and our own railway dataset. Secondly, a post-processing approach for clustering the detected rails into tracks using geometric constraints is proposed. Finally, two track detection metrics are introduced: The rail position offset metric (RPOM) and the track centerline offset metric (TCOM), which allow precise assessment of rail and track centerline detection results and can be cornerstones to foster future developments in this area.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"356 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125643133","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}

Our previous work showed that Hamilton Jacobi reachability theory can be applied to compute interaction-dynamics-aware perception safety zones that better inform an ego vehicle’s perception module which obstacles are considered safety-critical. For completeness, these zones are typically larger than absolutely necessary, forcing the perception module to pay attention to a larger collection of objects for the sake of conservatism. As an improvement, we propose a maneuver-based decomposition of our safety zones that leverages information about the ego maneuver to reduce the zone volume. In particular, we propose a \"temporal convolution\" operation that produces safety zones for specific ego maneuvers, thus limiting the ego’s behavior to reduce the size of the safety zones. We show with numerical experiments that maneuver-based zones are significantly smaller (up to 76% size reduction) than the baseline while maintaining completeness.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127562172","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}

It has been reported that music can regulate human emotion and the influence of negative emotion continuously challenges driving safety in post-congestion traffic. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of different music intervention strategies on mitigating drivers' negative emotion in post-congestion driving. Three experiments (i.e., driving with soft music, driving with disco jockey (DJ) music, and driving without music) are designed to collect drivers' driving performance measures, eye movement and electroencephalogram (EEG) responses in post-congestion driving. The results show that the music intervention strategies influence drivers' eye movement and EEG responses to varying degrees but do not have distinct effect in driving performance measures. These obtained results indicate that designing personalized music intervention strategies might help mitigate drivers' negative emotion to increase driving safety and comfort.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"366 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134263620","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}

Because agreement-seeking cooperation allows connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to decide whether or not to participate in cooperative driving, it is necessary for CAVs to have intelligent decision-making strategies. This work develops a farsighted, interaction-aware decision-making strategy using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). A MARL system is formulated with unique state and action spaces reflecting agreement-seeking interactions. A state–action–reward–state–action (SARSA) algorithm is applied to learn the action-value function of each CAV. Simulation results show that using a MARL-based decision-making strategy increases agreement rates by 52% on average and cooperation time by 50%. The higher cooperation rates lead to higher energy efficiency: 5.5% more energy saving than heuristic decision-making.","PeriodicalId":195148,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123147926","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}

This paper mainly focuses on studying secondary behaviors, and their relative complexity to develop a guide for auto manufacturers. In recent years, a few driver secondary action datasets and deep learning algorithms have been created to address this problem. Despite their success in many domains, Convolutional Neural Network based deep learning methods struggle to fully consider the overall context of an image, and focus on specific image features. We present the use of Video Transformers on two challenging datasets, one of them being a grayscale low-quality dataset. We also demonstrate how the novel concept of a Visual Dictionary can be used to understand the structural components of any secondary behavior. Finally, we validate different components of the visual dictionary by studying the attention modules of the transformer-based model and incorporating explainability in the computer vision model.
