In the exploration mode, a remotely located supervisor instructs the system to move through successive sections of the network, gathering range data that is, then, concatenated into 2D/3D survey maps of the environment. In the navigation mode, the supervisor specifies high-level missions on the previously acquired survey maps. A motion planner, then, translates each mission into a set of consecutive navigation actions, separated by natural landmarks. Mission execution consists of detecting landmarks, self-localizing and performing the planned navigation actions.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129539971","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}

Systems of this kind are intended to monitor driver-vehicle behavior and environmental surroundings in order to warn the driver of possible dangerous situations, and work by constantly comparing the real vehicle maneuver to a recommended reference maneuver planned by optimal control. The latter (the optimal control reference maneuver) is based on safety criteria, in which a proper \"risk function\" is minimized. In this paper the case of \"safe speed\" is preliminarily addressed. The influence of different risk function formulations (for safe speed) on system performance is investigated. Simulations are carried out for a vehicle running along a S-shaped curve at constant speed, and the driving advices resulting from safe-optimal reference maneuvers are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129305325","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 utilizing virtual reality technology, a virtual prototyping environment (VPE) can be created in which the behavior of a vehicle or part of a vehicle can be evaluated and adjusted to match the driver's desires. This paper describes the design and the evaluation of a VPE for manually operated gearboxes. The test group considered the simulated \"virtual\" gearshift feel to be quite similar to the \"real\" gearshift feel of a test vehicle. By further developing this VPE, it should become possible to define gearshift feel by customer assessment through haptic simulation, after which the physical gearbox is designed in such a way that it matches the preferred shifting behavior.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125706517","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}

Feature based localization techniques suffer from feature detection failures, especially when features are sparse or not recognisable. Dead reckoning and inertial methods have to deal with the problem of drift in the sensors to be able to localize reliably over long periods of operation. To localize a vehicle reliably, robustly and accurately, a framework that enables the fusion of the different localization techniques is thus required, for this purpose, a road network topology constrained unified localization scheme is proposed based on the general Bayesian probabilistic estimation theoretic framework. The experimental results obtained from a vehicle driven in a large neighbourhood environment are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125849793","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}

In this paper, a real-time pose estimation algorithm based on vision is proposed and implemented. The ground plane assumption is used to simplify the interframe motion model to a 2D plane motion model, which reduces the computation and avoids the difficulty in feature point selection in outdoor environments. This algorithm is composed of two parts: the Gradient Angle Histogram algorithm and the Iterative Gradient Closest Point algorithm. The fusion of these two algorithms successfully addresses the local minimum problem and the high computation problem with the ICP algorithm. Experimental results with both synthetic data and real data prove the high accuracy, low computation, and high robustness to outliers in this algorithm.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122556965","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}
