Abstract

International audience; This chapter describes the emerging robotics application field of intelligent vehicles – motor vehicles that have autonomous functions and capabilities. The chapter is organized as follows:- Section 62.1 provides a motivation for why the development of [...]

Abstract

This thesis investigates a method to save energy and thus also extend the range of a series-production battery electric vehicle by influencing the driving style automatically with the help of a of a cruise controller. An exploration of existing methods shows that the contextual consideration [...]

Abstract

div"Due to recent advances in sensor technology and the exponential increase in computation power of electronic control units (ECUs) along with their increasing affordability, active safety and vehicle automation have become major trends in the commercial vehicle industry. New regulations [...]

Abstract

The increase in the number of deaths due to ground traffic accidents is a global problem. In such context, the development of new vehicular technologies is considered an alternative to improve road safety. Within the field of new vehicle technologies, it is possible to find driver [...]

Abstract

El moviment és un atribut perceptiu del cervell humà molt important. La percepció visual que fa el cervell del moviment és el procés d’inferir la velocitat i direcció dels elements d’un escenari mitjançant entrades visuals. Anàlogament, la visió per computador s’assisteix [...]

Abstract

We present an approach for validation of advanced driver assistance systems, based on randomized algorithms. The new method consists of an iterative randomized simulation using adaptive importance sampling. The randomized algorithm is more efficient than conventional simulation techniques. [...]

Abstract

When it comes to road safety, professional drivers find themselves under pressure in various circumstances and are also exposed to diverse risk factors. To minimize personal negative consequences – and negative consequences for road safety – KFV carried out a project on work-related [...]
