Autonomous Vehicle Technology and Safety

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…

Road network detection from very high resolution satellite and aerial images has diverse and important usage areas such as map generation and updating. Although an expert can label road pixels in a given image, this operation is prone to errors and quite time consuming. Therefore, an automated system is needed to dete…

The vehicles are equipped with electronic control units that control their functions. These units communicate with each other via in-vehicle communication protocols like CAN bus. Although CAN is the most common in-vehicle communication protocol, its lack of encryption and authentication can cause serious security shor…

For a foreseeable future, autonomous vehicles (AVs) will operate in traffic together with human-driven vehicles. Their planning and control systems need extensive testing, including early-stage testing in simulations where the interactions among autonomous/human-driven vehicles are represented. Motivated by the need f…
