Abstract

In the field of modern automotive engineering, many researchers are focusing on the development of advanced vehicle control systems such as autonomous vehicle systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Furthermore, Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) such as cruise control, [...]

Abstract

Given rapid advancement of automated driving (AD) technologies in recent years, major car makers promise the commercialization of AD vehicles within one decade from now. However, how the automation should interact with human drivers remains an open question. The objective of this [...]

Abstract

In the past decades, social development has motivated a notable growth on transportation necessities. In 2020, higher tendencies are expected, so transportation demand will grow about a 20%. Besides, one of the foundations of the UE's Green Policy initiative for freight is the transportation [...]

Abstract

This paper discusses whether the knowledge of the driving mode of an approaching vehicle (manual vs. automated) influences pedestrians’ decisions while crossing a street. Additionally, the paper explores how different appearances and driving behaviours of vehicles interact with [...]

Abstract

This thesis is carried out in the context of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, and especially autonomous vehicles. Its aim is to propose a method to enhance localization of vehicles on roads. I suggests using a camera to detect lane markings, and to match these to a map to extract [...]

Abstract

Public transportation (PT) systems suffer from disutility compared to private transportation due to the inability to provide passengers with a door-to-door service, referred to as the first/last mile problem. Personal mobility devices (PMDs) are thought to improve PT service quality [...]

Abstract

Nowadays, driver assistance systems involve an ever increasing degree of automatization. Costly effort is put into testing the individual components to ensure proper functioning by the vehicle manufacturers. However, problems can also arise on a macroscopic scale, as vehicles and [...]
