Human Centric Intersection Crossing Control Using C-ITS Information

conference paper
One of the challenges in automated transport of passengers is comfort and trust of the passengers during their travel. This especially comes into play when the automated driving vehicle has to react to external influences from e.g. traffic lights. Much research has been put into recognizing the traffic lights and their state with on-board sensors and into optimal traffic regulation at signalized intersections, however, optimal vehicle control for passenger trust and comfort seems lacking. To advance in this area, in the EU-project SHOW, an in-car traffic light control algorithm was designed and implemented in TNO’s carlab to be evaluated with passengers. The outcome of experimental tests with a limited number of participants as passenger, seems promising and will be a basis for future research on this topic. The implemented approach was found to be an adequate methodology to tune the intersection crossing functionality of an automated vehicle in order to optimize comfort and increase passenger trust.
