The Kalman filter is an optimal state estimator based on the assumption of an accurate dynamical model and known noise statistic. In order to achieve a fast, robust and efficient vehicle state estimation in the omnipresence of model imperfections and measurement noise, a synergetic combination of the Kalman filter and H∞ filter is proposed, making optimal usage of their advantages. The performance of the filters and their combination is analyzed throughout a sensor data fusion example. Based on the determination of the position and velocity of a vehicle, the improvements, but also the limits of the different approaches are discussed. Additionally, the possibility to detect sensor faults such as time-varying offsets by augmenting the state-space model is explained.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116278563","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 increase in system complexity, in turn, gives rise to complex distributed software which creates challenges for verification. Front-loading tests that are regularly performed in prototype vehicles or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) to simulation and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) environments can be used to validate design decisions and to significantly reduce overall development costs. Novel Automated Driving features, and the Open Context problem, however, move the challenge from the state-to-the-art to a knowledge problem (know-what instead of know-how). The ISO/PAS 21448:2019 for Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) acknowledges this change but no guidance is provided to the industry to making verification processes ready for operating vehicles in an Open Context environment that may require functional changes during the useful life of a vehicle. Since verification with HiL or vehicles will be all but impractical, in this paper we provide insights into the design of credible SiL environments that address functional and non-functional verification and validation concerns of software related automotive system in a continuous life-cycle. With the help of a use-case we demonstrate the significance of the novel approach compared to traditional automotive industry methods.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124594013","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}

Five unique and fundamentally different solutions are proposed, which have common similarity: the solutions are accomplished with machine learning algorithms. The methods aim at modelling drivers' or vehicles' behaviour with reasonable prediction accuracy under various complex scenarios. All five solutions are developed in individual projects in a framework of a continuous interdisciplinary European network ITEAM.

The evaluation is given in a first moment on small indoor scenarios with static and moving objects. Further tests were done on wider areas, where the system is integrated within our Robotics Operating System (ROS)-based self-developed “Smart PhysIcal Demonstration and evaluation Robot (SPIDER)” and the results of these outdoor tests are compared with the obtained localization by the installed GPS on the robot.

However, their validation is mandatory before industrialization; testing every component should be assessed intensively in order to mitigate potential failures and avoid unwanted problems on the road. In order to cover all possible scenarios, virtual simulations are used to complement real-test driving and aid in the validation process. This paper focuses on the validation of the command law during realistic virtual simulations. Its aim is to detect the maximum amount of failures while exploring the input search space of the scenarios. A key industrial restriction, however, is to launch simulations as little as possible in order to minimize computing power needed. Thus, a reduced model based on a random forest model helps in decreasing the number of simulations launched. It accompanies the algorithm in detecting the maximum amount of faulty scenarios everywhere in the search space. The methodology is tested on a tracking vehicle use case, which produces highly effective results.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123160769","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}

Drone observations of microscopic data of moving vehicles have been made available on three-lane road segments of German highways. Based on these detailed empirical traffic data we reveal heterogeneity and complexity of congested traffic and discuss its consequences. E.g., to perform a safe and comfortable driving behavior by driver assistance systems or automated vehicles lane-level traffic states should be adapted. A congested and dense traffic state only on the left lane of a three-lane highway could be a serious danger. Moreover, we propose an empirical method to calculate local traffic densities that could be used to warn vehicles in advance about high preceding densities. We leverage that concept to study a local traffic jam and discuss its lane-level properties.

A data source that has barely been used in the literature so far is diagnostic data, which is obtained by sending requests to the electronic control units of a vehicle. Diagnostic data can be collected cost-effectively and is already available on a large scale to car manufacturers today. However, the use of diagnostic data is associated with some difficulties. The set of measured variables differs greatly between different vehicles of the same type due to different configurations and therefore differences in the electronic control units. In this contribution, we show how diagnostic data can be harmonized for the use of data-driven modeling. An heuristic three-step procedure is introduced to identify similar measured variables. Finally, our approach is verified on a synthetic data set. Future data-driven technologies are able to use larger and more cost-efficient data sets this way.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122331778","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}

Relying on the perceived data from their local sensors, nodes exchange information about the objects they detect in their surroundings. An object can be anything significant for the nodes' safety, e.g., obstacles on the road, other vehicles or pedestrians. The amount of data generated by each node is determined by the number of perceived objects and the generation frequency of the messages carrying the detected objects. Considering the limited bandwidth of the wireless channel, the data load generated by collective perception can easily exceed the channel capacity. In this paper, we investigate three schemes that filter the number of objects in the messages and thereby adjust the network load in order to optimize the transmission of perceived objects. Our simulation-based performance evaluation indicates that the use of filtering is an effective approach to improve network-related performance metrics, whereas the expected impairment of the perception quality is rather small. The comparison of the filtering algorithms provide insights into the tradeoff between network-related metrics and perception quality.","PeriodicalId":384049,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Connected Vehicles and Expo (ICCVE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127152287","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}
