Abstract

6 pages; International audience; The paper proposes a control system with the brake and the steering for developing a driver assistance system. The purpose is to design a cruise control method to track the road geometry with a predefined velocity and guarantee the road stability of the vehicle simultaneously. An actuator selection method is developed in the control design, in which the actuator limits, energy requirements and vehicle operations are taken into consideration. The method is extended with a fault-tolerant feature based on a robust LPV method, into which the actuator selection procedure and the detected fault information are incorporated. The operation of the reconfigurable control system is illustrated through various vehicle manoeuvres.

Abstract

The rise of evermore autonomy in vehicles and the expected introduction of self-driving cars have led to a focus on human interactions with such systems from an HCI perspective over the last years. Automotive User Interface researchers have been investigating issues such as transition control procedures, shared control, (over)trust, and overall user experience in automated vehicles. Now, it is time to open the research field of automated driving to other CHI research fields, such as Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI), aeronautics and space, conversational agents, or smart devices. These communities have been dealing with the interplay between humans and automated systems for more than 30 years. In this workshop, we aim to provide a forum to discuss what can be learnt from other domains for the design of autonomous vehicles. Interaction design problems that occur in these domains, such as transition control procedures, how to build trust in the system, and ethics will be discussed.
