As a potential solution to this need, this paper introduces a new approach for test environment capable to simulate realistic traffic around the autonomous test vehicle. The test car therefore can be put into virtual transportation network by applying realtime microscopic traffic simulation, i.e., the method enables safe vehicle testing.

For those systems, a local route that represents the road shape is essential information for controlling a vehicle's behavior. When the local route is recognized by the perception sensors attached to the vehicle, the discontinuous information caused by the noise and detection failure worsens the driving comfort and stability. Since filtering methods in previous studies have caused time delays, the reaction of the vehicle control may be late when the curvature of the road changes. In this paper, the local route is temporary modeled into a mathematical form with several nodes to smooth the discontinuous information without delay problems. The node location of the temporal roadway geometry model is probabilistically updated by a Bayesian filtering scheme using the recognized local route. The proposed method was evaluated with a Mobileye camera and a real road. This method not only provided road shape information without a time delay but also interpolated the road shape information during the misdetection of sensor information and updating period.","PeriodicalId":203807,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131616113","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}

To gain these benefits, it typically involves small following distances (0.8 s – 0.3 s). Due to the small following distances, the cut-in manoeuvre of target vehicles becomes safety critical and requires the platooning system to take action as soon as possible. This work shows how machine learning can be used for the prediction of a cut-in manoeuvre of a vehicle, which we refer to as target vehicle, from a host vehicle perspective. A real-life driving experiment was performed to measure several cut-ins that were manually annotated. Measurements are gathered with a lidar installed on the host vehicle and consequently used to train several well-known machine learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Adaboost and an Ensemble of the previous models. The Ensemble model achieves the best results. This method is capable of predicting cut-ins prior to their occurrence, with an $f_{1}$ score of 62:28% on the test set. Moreover, over 60% of the cut-ins are correctly predicted more than one second before the corresponding vehicle crosses the lane marker.","PeriodicalId":203807,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133267153","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}

Accordingly, in this paper, a hybrid communication approach is proposed for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication schemes based on the use of WiFi and 4G connections. The objective is to ensure that the intelligent vehicles are able to maintain the vehicular communication using both connection methods in real-time, based on preadjusted configurations.

The collision avoidance with a vehicle, a pedestrian or any obstacle and the generation of a feasible continuous curvature trajectory represent the major problems faced by researchers to provide a safe path planning solution. This paper presents an algorithm able to avoid vehicles or obstacles by proposing a smooth local modified trajectory of a global path. The proposed method is based on the combination of a parameterized sigmoid function and a rolling horizon. The major advantage of this method is the reactivity to the obstacle motion and the generation of a smooth trajectory in a low execution time. The lateral and the longitudinal safety distances are easily parameterized when generating the avoidance trajectory. Simulation results show that the algorithm performs collision avoidance manoeuvres for static and dynamic obstacles in an effective way. The method is validated by applying the avoidance approach on real measured trajectory.","PeriodicalId":203807,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121994636","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}

Especially for safetycritical functions, the testing activities are essential to check if the designed system complies with the requirements. Nowadays, the continuous development of mobile electronic devices through software updates is performed almost on a daily basis. This trend is now starting to be observed in cyber-physical systems with higher safety priorities. In the automotive field, the rising software portion in the vehicles and the shortening technology life-cycles are accentuating the need for Software Over The Air (SOTA) updates. Despite the opportunities offered by SOTA updates, the current test processes and methods must be adapted to manage the resulting complexity throughout the life-cycle of the vehicles. Especially the typical variants abundance in automotive product lines is considered as an important challenge, which cannot be solved only by ”classical” testing methods such as Hardware-In-the-Loop. In this paper, we present a testing method for variantrich systems, which can be applied for automotive software updates. It uses virtual platforms for automated delta testing to handle the abundance of system configurations. Virtual testing is introduced as a powerful tool to reduce the amount of real tests and allow efficient variants verification. As a proof of concept, an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) composed of two ECUs has been implemented both in real hardware and using a virtual platform. With this approach, virtual delta tests, i. e. specific test-benches targeting the differences to a basic variant, can be rapidly executed for various system configurations. To prove the feasibility of the presented test method in more complex systems, a scalability study has been conducted.","PeriodicalId":203807,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129981672","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 must be suitable for the monitoring of car drivers due to its easy use. By using this sensor, we can think about an alarm system for sudden illness of car drivers preventing them from causing accidents. However, the problem is body movements of car drivers and the vibration of the car. The Doppler sensor observes the variation of the distance between the sensor and the human body because the distance variation is yielded by the respiration and the heartbeats. Thus, the body movements of the driver are destructive for the measurement as well as the car vibration. Obviously, they cause false alarms, so the measurement must be robust against the body movement.In this paper, we propose a new signal processing method suitable for vitalsensing using a Doppler sensor. It is robust against disturbances caused by the body movement or the car vibrations. However, if these disturbances are serious, the proposed method automatically recognize the situation in order to avoid the false alarm for the car drivers’ monitoring. In addition, the proposed method is applicable to multiple persons. The performance of the proposed method is investigated through computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":203807,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128879381","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}
