The aim of the algorithm, is to find a comfortable driving strategy to merge in a gap on the target lane. Therfore, the proposed algorithm determines a bunch of trajectories to reach surrounding gaps. The trajectory with the lowest costs for each gap is chosen. To obtain the longitudinal component of the trajectory, a five-part section-wise defined polynomial in Frenet space is used to generate comfortable driving behaviour, with as few changes in the acceleration profile as possible. Based on the prediction of surrounding traffic, different variations of deceleration and acceleration are combined. For each longitudinal part, a lateral component to perform a lane change into the target gap is evaluated. The concept allows to evaluate the influence of the longitudinal driving strategy on the dynamics required to change lanes. The algorithm is evaluated in a MATLAB simulation including a runtime estimation.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"433 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124238950","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}

Data analysis is performed using descriptive statistics. The mean values and variations of measured acceleration coefficients on the roads we examined are compared. The graphical comparison of the roads studied is covered in a separate section. The results of the transport experiment show that the magnitude of generated shocks is even higher at a lower average transport speeds on a low-quality roads.

In this paper, we develop a work-flow to automatically score and rank the intersections in a region based on their performance, and group the intersections that show similar behavior, thereby highlighting patterns of similarity. In the process, we also detect potential bottlenecks in the region of interest.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128439283","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}

Cities are trying to be modern and provide various ICT based services for their citizens. An efficient public transportation service is critical for the citizens, but traffic congestions are still a problem in cities and are one of the main reasons for public transport delays. Therefore, it is important for citizens to know where the needed public transport vehicle is located at the moment, to know if the transport has already passed the stop or not. Authors of this research propose a real-time public transport tracking system using a global positioning system (GPS) technology module to receive the location of the vehicle in a real-time. System is based on the Raspberry Pi 3, which is used to transfer positioning data received from GPS module to the remote database. Based on received data, the location of the bus is visualised in the developed Web system.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123563173","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 work presents a structure to determine a maneuver-specific and adaptive safety zone for collision avoidance. For this, the overall automated driving system is split into functional scenarios that occur during the driving task in the operational design domain. Maneuvers are derived from the given scenarios and car park layouts. Minimum safety distances are determined by injecting worst-case parameters into derived maneuvers. The superposition of these safety distances leads to a new term: the safety zone. The safety zone adapts its size according to the performed maneuver as well as the dynamic driving parameters of the engaged traffic participants such as velocities, timing constraints and deceleration capabilities. The methodology is applied on the example of cooperative automated valet parking (AVP).","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130129810","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}

We present an approach, that solves the problem to extract dynamic-length-segments containing a single scenario. These segments are enriched with a feature vector with information relevant for the feature under test. By clustering these scenarios a logical scenario catalog is created, containing all scenarios within the test data. Corner cases are represented as well as common scenarios. An accumulated total length can be calculated for each logical scenario, giving a brief understanding about existing test coverage of the scenario.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"38 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123526191","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}

Travel cost stands for the energy spent by the vehicle to move between locations. Refueling opportunities are offered at known locations where the vehicle can harvest or re-gain some of the lost energy. The objective is to visit a set of predefined locations without exhausting the energy of the vehicle. We describe the problem in a formal way, and propose a heuristic algorithm for taking routing decisions at runtime. We evaluate the algorithm for a grid topology as a function of the number of locations to be visited and the autonomy degree of the vehicle, showing that the proposed algorithm achieves good results as long as the energy margins are not very tight.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131869410","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}
