On the possibility of extending the service life of winter roads using renewable energy sources
It is hard to overestimate the role of winter roads in the land logistics of the northern regions. In recent years, climate change has not only significantly reduced the service life of winter roads, but also made them less predictable. This forces transpo ...
2023Validating Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding for Pre-Filling Radar Labels-Increasing Safety While Reducing Air Traffic Controllers' Workload
Automatic speech recognition and understanding (ASRU) for air traffic control (ATC) has been investigated in different ATC environments and applications. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of ASRU support for air traffic controllers (AT ...
2023Haptics 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 ...
2023Stochastic Optimal Control for Autonomous Driving Applications via Polynomial Chaos Expansions
Colin Neil Jones, Petr Listov, Johannes Christian Schwarz
Model-based methods in autonomous driving and advanced driving assistance gain importance in research and development due to their potential to contribute to higher road safety. Parameters of vehicle models, however, are hard to identify precisely or they ...
2021Tensile response of Ultra High Performance PE Fiber Reinforced Concretes (PE-UHPFRC) under imposed shrinkage deformations
Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz, Amir Hajiesmaeili
PE-UHPFRC is a new Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC), which is developed to reduce the environmental impact of conventional UHPFRC by replacing the steel fibers with synthetic ones and reducing the clinker content in the mix. The de ...
2021Detecting 32 Pedestrian Attributes for Autonomous Vehicles
Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan
Pedestrians are arguably one of the most safety-critical road users to consider for autonomous vehicles in urban areas. In this paper, we address the problem of jointly detecting pedestrians and recognizing 32 pedestrian attributes from a single image. The ...
2021Safe Mission Planning under Dynamical Uncertainties
This paper considers safe robot mission planning in uncertain dynamical environments. This problem arises in applications such as surveillance, emergency rescue, and autonomous driving. It is a challenging problem due to mod-eling and integrating dynamical ...
IEEE2020Human-friendly solutions for last-centimeter drone delivery
Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski
The popularity of delivery drones is constantly increasing due to their ability to deliver packages more rapidly and economically than current transportation methods. Consequently, drones have been employed by logistics companies for delivering payloads to ...
EPFL2020Physical Safety in Collisions Between Robots and Pedestrians
Aude Billard, Diego Felipe Paez Granados, David Julian Gonon, Pericle Salvini
The widespread deployment of mobile service robots in public environments and the growing use of autonomy as control modality will increase the exposure to hazards for people simply sharing the robot floor. The need to ensure safety becomes an ethical and ...
