Mechanical and thermal effects might cause the parameters to change over time, requiring iterative calibration. For vehicle cameras, reference information needed therefore has to be extracted from the scenario, as reference patterns are not available on public streets. In this contribution, a method for iterative camera calibration using scale references extracted from traffic signs is proposed. Traffic signs are detected in images recorded during driving using a convolutional neural network. Multiple detections are reduced by mean shift clustering, before the shape of each sign is fitted robustly with RANSAC. Unique image points along the shape contour together with the metric size of the traffic sign are included iteratively in the bundle adjustment performed for camera calibration. The neural network is trained and validated with over 50,000 images of traffic signs. The iterative calibration is tested with an image sequence of an urban scenario showing traffic signs. The results show that the estimated parameters vary in the first iterations, until they converge to stable values after several iterations. The standard deviations are comparable to the initial calibration with a reference pattern. 1 CALIBRATION OF CAMERAS FOR ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS In recent years, an increasing number and capability (figure 1) of advanced driver assistance systems per vehicle can be observed (Shapiro, 2017), what is also reflected by the continuously growing sales of needed electronic control units in cars (AlixPartners, 2015). For capturing the scenario in and around the car for advanced driver assistance systems, different sensors are used (Dempsey, 2016). Ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumper can capture the close scenario in front and behind the car to avoid collisions during parking maneuvers. Radar sensors can be distinguished by their operating range. Cross traffic warnings can be realized with a short-range radar system with a range up to 30 m. A cruise control system adapting the speed of the ego-car dependent on preceding cars is used typically in highways scenarios, wherefore long-range radar systems with a range of more than 200 m are suitable. Pedestrian detection systems are typically used in urban scenarios with moderate speeds driven, requiring medium-range sensors like a LiDAR or a camera (Ors, 2017). During development of a new car model, costs are Figure 1: Traffic signs detected in images of a vehicle camera (field of view in blue) can be used to warn the driver against speed limits or other traffic regulations. These detections can be also used to iteratively calibrate the camera (Auto Body Professionals Club, 2017). an important design factor regarding customer acceptance.

Autonomous vehicles will improve road safety by eliminating human errors. However, not all automotive collisions can be avoided. A strategy needs to be developed in the event when an autonomous vehicle encounters an unavoidable collision. Furthermore, the vehicle will need to take responsibility for the safety of its occupants, as well as any other individuals, who may be affected by the vehicle’s behaviour. This paper proposes a control system to assist an autonomous vehicle to make a decision to reduce the risks to occupants potentially involved in highway motorway collisions. Before any decision can be made, the potential collisions need to be assessed for their effects. A quick and numerical method for evaluation of impact of potential collisions was developed. Assessing the Kinetic Energy of the vehicles before and after collisions is proposed as a method to assess the severity of collisions. A simulation model developed calculates the kinetic energy values and recommends an autonomous vehicle the motorway lane to drive into to cause the least severe collision impact. Different scenarios are defined and used to test the simulation model. The results obtained are promising and in line with the decision made by the subject expert.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115489424","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}

However, due to their mobility vehicles experience significant fluctuations in their connection quality in terms of bandwidth and availability. To maintain constantly high quality of service, these fluctuations need to be anticipated and predicted before they occur. To this end, different techniques such as connectivity maps and online throughput estimations exist. In this paper, we investigate the possibilities of a large-scale future deployment of such techniques by relying solely on lowcost hardware for network measurements. Therefore, we conducted a measurement campaign over three weeks in which more than 74,000 throughput estimates with correlated network quality parameters were obtained. Based on this data set—which we make publicly available to the community—we provide insights in the challenging task of network quality prediction for vehicular scenarios. More specifically, we analyse the potential of machine learning approaches for bandwidth prediction and assess their underlying assumptions.","PeriodicalId":218840,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114897456","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}
