Turmoil Behind the Automated Wheel: An Embodied Perspective on Current HMI Developments in Partially Automated Vehicles

Cars that include combinations of automated functions, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping (LK), are becoming more and more available to consumers, and higher levels of automation are under development. In the use of these systems, the role of the driver is changing. This new interaction between the driver and the vehicle may...

5G & Net Neutrality: a functional analysis to feed the policy discussion

Assessment of Automated Driving Systems using real-life scenarios

More and more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are entering the market for improving both safety and comfort by assisting the driver with their driving task. An important aspect in developing future ADAS and Automated Driving Systems (ADS) is testing and validation. Validating the failure rate of an ADS requires so many operational...

Heterogeneous migration paths to high bandwith home connections: A computational approach

Towards personalised automated driving: Prediction of preferred ACC behaviour based on manual driving

More and more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) are entering the market for improving both safety and comfort. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an ADAS application that has high interaction with the driver. ACC systems use limited sensor input and have only few configuration possibilities. This may result in the behaviour of the ACC not...

Advantages of copper backhauling for G.fast nodes

A next step in bringing high bandwidth over an existing copper infrastructure is Fibre to the Curb, using G.Fast, which prevents a huge investment compared to a full fibre roll out. To save additional costs in this roll out, the existing copper can be reused as backhaul for the new active point of G.Fast, where currently mostly a fibre backhaul...

Graceful degradation of CACC performance subject to unreliable wireless communication

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) employs wireless intervehicle communication, in addition to onboard sensors, to obtain string-stable vehicle-following behavior at small intervehicle distances. As a consequence, however, CACC is vulnerable to communication impairments such as packet loss, in which case it would effectively degrade to...

Evaluation of advanced driver assistance system with the VEHIL test facility: Experiences and future developments at TNO automotive

This paper presents the working principle, functionality and the experience during the first operational period of the VEHIL laboratory, dedicated to the development and testing of advanced driver assistance systems. The position of VEHIL and its PC based full software variant PRESCAN is illustrated based on the so-called V-cycle.

Driving with intelligent vehicles. Driving behaviour with ACC and the acceptance by individual drivers

This paper presents an overview of the work of a PhD project performed within the research programme "Technology Assessment Automatic Vehicle Guidance" concerning individual driver behaviour and acceptance of Adaptive Cruise Control [1]. It describes and discusses the results of a questionnaire study and two experimental driving simulator...

Adaptive cruise control: individual differences and actual driving behaviour

Modeling motorway driving behavior

Microscopic traffic simulation constitutes a useful method for predicting the effects of new transport telematic systems in road traffic. In such a model, the driver model is a key element describing the dynamic individual driving behavior in relation to the vehicle, the road environment, and other traffic participants. The driver model...
