This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes different methods that are relevant to the development and testing of control algorithms for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving functions (ADF). These control algorithms need to respond safely, reliably and optimally in varying operating conditions. Also, vehicles have to comply with safety and emission legislation. The text describes how such control algorithms can be developed, tested and verified for use in real-world driving situations. Owing to the complex interaction of vehicles with the environment and different traffic participants, an almost infinite number of possible scenarios and situations that need to be considered may exist. The book explains new methods to address this complexity, with reference to human interaction modelling, various theoretical approaches to the definition of real-world scenarios, and with practically-oriented examples and contributions, to ensure efficient development and testing of ADAS and ADF. Control Strategies for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Autonomous Driving Functions is a collection of articles by international experts in the field representing theoretical and application-based points of view. As such, the methods and examples demonstrated in the book will be a valuable source of information for academic and industrial researchers, as well as for automotive companies and suppliers.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) represent an increasing contribution to active road safety and driving comfort. Their task is to help the driver to avoid accidents or at least to minimize their consequences. Depending on their objectives they can support the driver's decisions by providing additional information (e.g. Park Distance Control, Night Vision, Traffic Sign Recognition) or even directly influence the driving process (e.g. Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist). Since the absolute number of ADAS sensors in vehicles is permanently increasing, further development of existing sensor data processing mechanisms is required to ensure a robust functionality and (eventual) timely detection of system limits (e.g. caused by sensor misalignment, bad weather conditions, pollution or aging). Therefore, continuous knowledge of the quality of the environmental perception is of significant importance. In this thesis, general probabilistic approach to multi-sensorial environmental perception of ADAS is presented. This approach incorporates sensor data fusion with self-diagnosis capability and maneuver level intent estimation of detected objects. Thus, the quality of environmental perception can be continuously monitored and the intents of the traffic participants can be predicted. The resulting probabilities are uniform and consistent basis and reflect the reliability of the results. This knowledge is an important prerequisite for the development of future complex and robust Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. The developed concepts have been used and approved in project "Integrated Lateral Assistance", a subproject of research initiative AKTIV (abbreviation for "Adaptive and Cooperative Technologies for the Intelligent Traffic") supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of new technologies of information and communication will, in the coming years, transform deeply their uses and practices in transport. The current developments in the field of road telematics and driver assistance systems offer a real opportunity to aid mobility and road safety. However, they also raise numerous questions about their effectiveness, possible positive and negative modifications of behaviour or attitudes and about their acceptability by drivers. Problems related to the design and evaluation of intelligent driver support systems (IDSSs) and social perspectives related to their introduction on a large scale may only be fully addressed from a multi-disciplinary point of view. People from different backgrounds, from both engineering and social sciences, should be involved in this development. This book provides such knowledge from both a human and social factors background. The Safety of Intelligent Driver Support Systems serves the training of professionals working within the transport area so that they can use this knowledge in their work. It will be of direct interest to transportation and traffic professionals, engineers, system designers, researchers and specialists working in automotive and related industries, departments of transport, and communication and public bodies related to transport in the automotive industry, public authorities, etc. Also students at Masters and PhD level, performing studies in the road transportation area, will find in this book a rich source of knowledge. Teachers and trainers, both in professional training and academic education, may use the book as a basis for giving a course on the topic addressed.

Book excerpt: The European research project DESERVE (DEvelopment platform for Safe and Efficient dRiVE, 2012-2015) had the aim of designing and developing a platform tool to cope with the continuously increasing complexity and the simultaneous need to reduce cost for future embedded Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). For this purpose, the DESERVE platform profits from cross-domain software reuse, standardization of automotive software component interfaces, and easy but safety-compliant integration of heterogeneous modules. This enables the development of a new generation of ADAS applications, which challengingly combine different functions, sensors, actuators, hardware platforms, and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). This book presents the different results of the DESERVE project concerning the ADAS development platform, test case functions, and validation and evaluation of different approaches. The reader is invited to substantiate the content of this book with the deliverables published during the DESERVE project. Technical topics discussed in this book include:Modern ADAS development platforms;Design space exploration;Driving modelling;Video-based and Radar-based ADAS functions;HMI for ADAS;Vehicle-hardware-in-the-loop validation systems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of advanced driving assistance systems, in-vehicle communication and information systems, there are situations where the driver becomes overloaded by information, creating potentially dangerous conditions. In this Thesis a novel strategy is proposed, to prioritise and present information. Firstly two main criteria are extracted, that allow the ability to rank messages: the risk associated with the non-presentation of the message, and its relevance to the environment. Fuzzy cognitive maps enable to represent expert knowledge and model these relationships. Secondly, a strategy to present information is proposed. Using an importance index, calculated from the previous risk and relevance indices, but also information nature, time constraints and access frequency, a set of best interfaces is selected. Furthermore design a model of driver workload is designed, based on the multiple resources theory. By estimating in real time the workload of the driver, the system enables to choose an optimal interface, that should prevent overload. This Thesis presents then the tools developed for the implementation and testing of the model. A video capture and data transfer program, based on the IEEE-1394 bus, enable in-vehicle real-time data capture and collection. Moreover, a software package for replay of the acquired data, analysis and simulation is developed. Finally, the implementation of the prioritisation and presentation strategy is outlined. The last part of this work is dedicated to the experiments and results. Using an experimental vehicle, data in different driving conditions are collected. the experiment is completed by creating data to simulate potentially dangerous situations, where driver is overloaded with information. The results show that the information management and presentation system is able to prevent overload in most conditions. Its structure and design allow to incorporate expert knowledge to refine the classification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) provide the opportunity to increase road safety and driving comfort. Reviewing existing empirical work on comparable innovations, Patrick Planing derives potential acceptance constructs, which together with the results of thirty-two semi-structured interviews, have constituted the basis for a survey instrument that was consequently administered to a sample of over 400 participants from the target population. The resulting regression model shows that perceived safety and comfort benefits are most decisive for the acceptance of ADAS, while desire to exert control was found to most strongly support resistance to this technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on an emerging area, i.e. combination of IoT and semantic technologies, which should enable breaking the silos of local and/or domain-specific IoT deployments. Taking into account the way that IoT ecosystems are realized, several challenges can be identified. Among them of definite importance are (this list is, obviously, not exhaustive): (i) How to provide common representation and/or shared understanding of data that will enable analysis across (systematically growing) ecosystems? (ii) How to build ecosystems based on data flows? (iii) How to track data provenance? (iv) How to ensure/manage trust? (v) How to search for things/data within ecosystems? (vi) How to store data and assure its quality? Semantic technologies are often considered among the possible ways of addressing these (and other, related) questions. More precisely, in academic research and in industrial practice, semantic technologies materialize in the following contexts (this list is, also, not exhaustive, but indicates the breadth of scope of semantic technology usability): (i) representation of artefacts in IoT ecosystems and IoT networks, (ii) providing interoperability between heterogeneous IoT artefacts, (ii) representation of provenance information, enabling provenance tracking, trust establishment, and quality assessment, (iv) semantic search, enabling flexible access to data originating in different places across the ecosystem, (v) flexible storage of heterogeneous data. Finally, Semantic Web, Web of Things, and Linked Open Data are architectural paradigms, with which the aforementioned solutions are to be integrated, to provide production-ready deployments.
