  1. 1. Occlusion-Aware Autonomous Highway Driving : Tracking safe velocity bounds on potential hidden traffic for improved trajectory planning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jonne van Haastregt; [2023]
    Keywords : Autonomous Driving; Occlusion-Awareness; Reachability Analysis; Highway driving; Formal Safety; Autonom Körning; Skymd-sikt-medveten; Nåbarhetsanalys; Motorvägskörning; Formell Säkerhet;

    Abstract : In order to reach higher levels of autonomy in autonomous driving, it is important to consider potential occluded traffic participants. Current research has considered occlusion-aware autonomous driving in urban situations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Unity 3D Traffic Simulation investigating the impacts of safe distance on traffic flow : Investigating how safe distance impacts traffic flow on a one lane highway during three road scenarios

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Jacob Näsman; Jonas Sävås; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With ever expanding transport needs and roads becoming increasingly congested, more people than ever before spend significant parts of their daily life stuck in traffic. One common cause of delays and queue formation is drivers attempting to adjust their speed in relation to the vehicle in front. READ MORE

  4. 3. Robust Safe Control for Automated Driving Systems With Perception Uncertainties

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yan Feng Yu; [2022]
    Keywords : Adaptive cruise control; Autonomous Driving System; Control barrier function; Cyber-physical systems; Measurement uncertainties; Model predictive control; Kalman filter; Adaptiv farthållare; Autonoma körsystem; Kontrollbarriärfunktion; Cyberfysiska system; Mätstörning; Modellförutsägande styrning;

    Abstract : Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS), a subcategory of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly popular with ubiquitous deployment. They provide advanced operational functions for perception and control, but this also raises the question of their safety capability. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improved side impact car safety : New IIHS side crash regulation, effect on product design

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Andreas Bäckman; [2022]
    Keywords : Side impact beam; IIHS; side crash; side impact crash testing; crash testing of automobiles; industrial design engineering; automotive design; product design; Sidokrockskydd; IIHS; sidokrock; sidokollision; sidokrocktestning; krocktest av bilar; teknisk design; bildesign; produktdesign;

    Abstract : 23% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2019 was side-impact collisions and is a ongoing problem that continues to take people’s lives (IIHS, 2021a). IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) is an organization based in USA, which performs vehicle crash tests with the goal of making cars safer and reducing deaths and injuries. READ MORE

  6. 5. Interaction Aware Decision Making for Automated Vehicles Based on Reinforcement Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ning Wang; [2022]
    Keywords : Reinforcement Learning; Automated Vehicles; Decision-making; Rollout; Driver Behaviour Modeling; Trajectory Prediction; Förstärkningsinlärning; automatiserade fordon; beslutsfattande; utrullning; modellering av förarbeteende; banförutsägelse;

    Abstract : Decision-making is one of the key challenges blocking full autonomy of automated vehicles. In highway scenarios, automated vehicles are expected to be aware of their surroundings and make decisions by interacting with other road participants to drive safely and efficiently. READ MORE
