Schmeitz, A.J.C. (author), Willemsen, D.M.C. (author), Ellwanger, S. (author)Platooning is a cooperative driving technology for driving in a longitudinal formation. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is the key enabling technology. Platooning is considered to be a closed application between well-known participants that use V2V data for their operation. For the deployment of platooning, multi-brand, i.e. interoperable...article 2023

Willemsen, D.M.C. (author), Schmeitz, A.J.C. (author), Mascalchi, E. (author)Truck platooning is the linking of two or more trucks in convoy, using connectivity technology and automated driving support systems. For the wide deployment of platooning, multi-brand, i.e. interoperable, solutions are paramount. To achieve this, the European ENSEMBLE (ENabling SafE Multi-Brand pLatooning for Europe) project has been conducted....article 2023

Godthelp, H. (author)Road crashes cause a huge problem of public health in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Safe System approach is generally considered as the leading concept on the way to road safety. Based on the fundamental premise that humans make mistakes, the overall traffic system should be ‘forgiving’. Sustainable safe road design is one of the...article 2023

den Camp, O.O. (author), de Gelder, E. (author), Broos, J. (author)To ensure the safe and responsible deployment of vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) onto the public road, a safety assessment of such vehicles should be passed successfully. The assessment results should be unambiguous, easily understood by experts in the field, and explainable to authorities and the general public. An...conference paper 2023

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

(author)An automated vehicle (AV) must always have a correct representation of the drivable space to position itself accurately and operate safely. To determine the drivable space, current research focuses on single sources of information, either using pre-computed high-definition maps, or mapping the environment online with sensors such as LiDARs or...article 2022

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
