In recent years, vehicles have become one of the most common examples in area ICT convergence applications and services [...]

This paper presents the SEVA system (Autonomous Vehicle Parking Simulator). This tool implements a robust control system for autonomous vehicle parking based on a FSA (Finite-State Automata) and also based on FSA obtained from trained J-CC ANNs (Jordan CascadeCorrelation Artificial Neural Networks).

Mid-way through the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge, MIT’s autonomous Land Rover LR3 ‘Talos’ and Team Cornell’s autonomous Chevrolet Tahoe ‘Skynet’ collided in a low-speed accident, one of the first well-documented collisions between two full-size autonomous vehicles. This collaborative study between MIT and Cornell examines the root causes of the collision, which are identified in both teams’ syste...

Freight Urban RoBOTic vehicle (FURBOT) is a complete drive-by-wire expected to perform autonomously in an urban setting. This upgrading has raised issues that need be resolved/addressed for the achieve higher level of autonomy. research addresses two these main issues. The First legal framework/licensing issue necessary addressed insured and legally drive on public roads. second changes must go...

This paper introduces the autonomous outdoor robot RAVON (see Figure 1) which is developed at the University of Kaiserslautern. The vehicle is used as a testbed to investigate behaviour-based strategies on motion adaptation, localisation and navigation in rough outdoor terrain. At the current stage the vehicle features collision-free autonomous navigation along way points given in GPS coordinates.

A platform for intelligent transport systems and autonomous vehicle research is in development at the Australian National University. The vehicle’s first application will be a test bed for on-road driver and vehicle monitoring as well as computer vision based autonomous steering and velocity control.

The challenge of navigating an autonomous vehicle over large distances was illustrated in 2005 at the DARPA Grand Challenge when 4 out of 23 Teams successfully completed a 132 mile course within a 10 hour time limit. What the Grand Challenge revealed is that one of the most critical components of a successful autonomous vehicle was the reliability of accurate pose (positioning and orientation e...

This paper develops a systems approach for robust real-time optimal autonomous driving control system development. An autonomous vehicle control system framework is proposed to dissect an automotive system into some sub-systems in which physical systems and control softwares are communicating. To attain robustness, a robust on-road vehicle localization scheme is proposed applying multi sensor-d...
