Autonomous Vehicle Technology and Safety

There could be no smart city without a reliable and efficient transportation system. This necessity makes the ITS a key component of any smart city concept. While legacy ITS technologies are deployed worldwide in smart cities, enabling the next generation of ITS relies on effective integration of connected and autonom…

In this paper, we propose an approach to understand the driver behavior using smartphone sensors. The aim for analyzing the sensory data acquired using a smartphone is to design a car-independent system which does not need vehicle mounted sensors measuring turn rates, gas consumption or tire pressure. The sensory data…

Autonomous driving has been the subject of incre- ased interest in recent years both in industry and in academia. Serious efforts are being pursued to address legal, technical, and logistical problems and make autonomous cars a viable option for everyday transportation. One significant challenge is the time and effort…

The automobile industry no longer relies on pure mechanical systems; instead, it benefits from many smart features based on advanced embedded electronics. Although the rise in electronics and connectivity has improved comfort, functionality, and safe driving, it has also created new attack surfaces to penetrate the in…

This paper is focused on planning fast, accurate, and optimal trajectories for autonomous parking. Nominally, this task should be described as an optimal control problem (OCP), wherein the collision-avoidance constraints guarantee travel safety and the kinematic constraints guarantee tracking accuracy. The dimension o…

Autonomous driving requires reliable and accurate detection and recognition of surrounding objects in real drivable environments. Although different object detection algorithms have been proposed, not all are robust enough to detect and recognize occluded or truncated objects. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid…
