van der Ploeg, C. (author), Smit, R. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)Developing safe automated vehicles that can be proactive, safe, and comfortable in mixed traffic requires improved planning methods that are risk-averse and that account for predictions of the motion of other road users. To consider these criteria, in this article, we propose a nonlinear model-predictive trajectory generator scheme, which...conference paper 2022

Smit, R. (author), van der Ploeg, C. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)The urban environment is amongst the most difficult domains for autonomous vehicles. The vehicle must be able to plan a safe route on challenging road layouts, in the presence of various dynamic traffic participants such as vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians and in various environmental conditions. The challenge remains to have motion planners...conference paper 2022

Sanchez, M.M. (author), Elfring, J. (author), Silvas, E. (author), van de Molengraft, R. (author)To operate safely, an automated vehicle (AV) must anticipate how the environment around it will evolve. For that purpose, it is important to know which prediction models are most appropriate for every situation. Currently, assessment of prediction models is often performed over a set of trajectories without distinction of the type of movement...conference paper 2022

Geurts, M. (author), Hogema, J. (author), Silvas, E. (author), Souman, J. (author), Rahman, A. (author), Hiller, J. (author)To develop safe automated driving functions, knowing road-user’s lane change behaviour is critical. This detection problem may depend on multiple aspects such as road conditions, location, and weather. To understand the effect of these situational variables, this work introduces a lane change detection algorithm and assessed its performance...conference paper 2022

(author)The safety assessment of Automated Vehicles (AVs) is an important aspect of the development cycle of AVs. A scenario-based assessment approach is accepted by many players in the field as part of the complete safety assessment. A scenario is a representation of a situation on the road to which the AV needs to respond appropriately. One way to...conference paper 2021

(author)The development of safety validation methods is essential for the safe deployment and operation of Automated Driving Systems (ADSs). One of the goals of safety validation is to prospectively evaluate the risk of an ADS dealing with real-world traffic. ISO 26262 and ISO/DIS 21448, the leading standards in automotive safety, provide an approach to...article 2021

Ibrahim, A. (author), Cicic, M. (author), Goswami, D. (author), Basten, T. (author), Johansson, K.H. (author)Vehicle platooning has been attracting attention recently because of its ability to improve road capacity, safety and fuel efficiency. Vehicles communicate using Vehicle-to- Vehicle (V2V) wireless communication, making their status (acceleration, position, etc.) available to other vehicles. Shock waves, i.e. zones of reduced traffic speed that...conference paper 2019

Verhaegh, J. (author), Ploeg, J. (author), van Nunen, E. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author)This paper presents a method for trajectory control, based on feedback linearization to guide an Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV). The novelty of this work, is the adaptation of a reference trajectory with respect to a desired velocity in real-time to avoid collisions using a time-scaling mechanism. Employing this mechanism, collision avoidance by...conference paper 2017
