The Haptic Link Enabling Driver-Automation Teaming

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Tomohiro Nakade, Robert Fuchs

Over-reliance on the automation of transportation systems is understood to be the cause of new types of accidents. In this paper, the automated driving system is augmented with control methods enabling driver intervention without its full deactivation. The ...

Haptics based multi-level collaborative steering control for automated driving

Hannes Bleuler, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Tomohiro Nakade, Robert Fuchs

Increasing the capability of automated driving vehicles is motivated by environmental, productivity, and traffic safety benefits. But over-reliance on the automation system is known to cause accidents. The role of the driver cannot be underestimated as it ...

Haptics based collaborative steering control in automated driving environments

Tomohiro Nakade

A vehicle's steering is a particular system in that it is exposed to individual subjective reviews based on criteria that are hard to assess quantitatively. Haptic design of such systems is a prime concern that has been at the center of industrial developm ...

Ride-hail vehicle routing (RIVER) as a congestion game

Kenan Zhang

The RIde-hail VEhicle Routing (RIVER) problem describes how drivers in a ride-hail market form a dynamic routing strategy according to the expected reward in each zone of the market. We model this decision-making problem as a Markov decision process (MDP), ...

Oclussion-Aware Motion Planning at Roundabouts

Denis Gillet

In this work, we present a motion planning framework for automated vehicles to drive safely through intersections despite occlusions and the uncertain behavior of the surrounding vehicles. A context representation based on probably-free gaps is proposed as ...

Autonomous Feature Tracing and Adaptive Sampling in Real-World Underwater Environments

Alcherio Martinoli, Alexander Bahr, Felix Stephan Schill, Anwar Ahmad Quraishi

Applications of robots for gathering data in underwater environments has been limited due to the challenges posed by the medium. We have developed a miniature, agile, easy to carry and deploy Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a suite of sen ...

Pioneering Driverless Electric Vehicles in Europe: The City Automated Transport System (CATS)

Vincent Kaufmann, Derek Pierre Christie

The City Automated Transport System (CATS) was a collaborative FP7 European project that lasted from 2010 to 2014. Its objective was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of driverless electric vehicles in European cities. This contribution explain ...

Elsevier Science Bv2016

This paper presents a real-time motion planning scheme for urban autonomous driving that will be deployed as a basis for cooperative maneuvers defined in the European project AutoNet2030. We use a path-velocity decomposition approach to separate the motion ...
