Dear Hi-Drive supporters and enthusiasts, We are thrilled to extend the invitation for the LIVE STREAM of the VVM Project's Final Event. This occasion signifies the culmination of the VVM project, celebrating its achievements and charting the course for the future of safety verification in automated vehicles. 🌐 How to Join: Witness high-level presentations and explore a substantial exhibition through live streams of the main stage, break-out sessions, and a virtual posters exhibition. Join at: https://lnkd.in/eKCT9sqg 📅 Event Details: Day 1 - Project Results Tuesday, 21 November 2023 Time: 09:00 - 19:00 (GMT+01:00) Day 2 - International Contribution Date: Wednesday, 22 November 2023 Time: 09:00 - 16:30 (GMT+01:00) 🔍 About the VVM Project: The German "Verifications Validation Methods" Project builds on the success of the PEGASUS project. PEGASUS focused on identifying and describing critical scenarios and their implementation in general test cases for highly automated vehicles (Level 3), using the motorway pilot as an example. VVM takes this further, extending the PEGASUS method to Level 4 and Level 5 of automated driving in an inner city environment, with a specific focus on an urban intersection.

Happy to share our latest paper 📃 , "Enhancing Vehicular Platoon Stability in the Presence of Communication Cyberattacks: A Reliable Longitudinal Cooperative Control Strategy". In this work, we shift the focus from traditional detection methods to explore how control strategies alone can significantly mitigate the impacts of cyberattacks on connected and automated vehicles. Reliable measurements from onboard sensors are pivotal in alleviating the adverse effects of cyberattacks on V2V communication layers. Our research introduces a robust CACC strategy and provides a mathematical derivation to explore the interaction between measurement noise, potential cyberattacks, and control performance. If you are interested in CACC systems, communication cyberattacks, and string stability, please check out our paper: https://lnkd.in/gExEgqkQ I would also like to express my deep appreciation to Prof. Yang Zhou, Prof. Yunlong Zhang, and Prof. Xiaopeng Li for their valuable guidance and insightful feedback, which were instrumental in shaping this work. Additionally, I am grateful for the constructive comments from the anonymous reviewers.

Very excited to be presenting with Kim Steelman at VivaCity's upcoming webinar on 22nd February. Road Safety remains one of the World's biggest challenges, and requires a collaborative effort from public and private institutions to reach a common goal. Viva’s AI sensors can support authorities across North America in their Vision Zero strategies to measure, manage and maintain the safety of vulnerable road users across the network. We will be taking a look at how our Smart Traffic Monitoring and Smart Road Safety products are helping to inform safety decisions, and enabling road safety engineers to adopt a Safe Systems Approach. https://lnkd.in/e_KiUQdF #visionzero

Fine grained and context aware AV is the key to safety. Read about our Second Stage Vision networks and learn about something I actively work on.

Very surprised that 6” wide pavement line markings not made mandatory when the evidence points to major safety benefits. This exclusion may have something to do with the increased cost of materials going from 4 to 6”. I would suggest that 4” high quality markings with good day contrast & high night retroreflectivity ( for dry & wet conditions) can do the job . #pavementmaintenance #retroreflectivity #safety #vru

Have you wondered how the ideas for our Rutronik System Solutions boards arise?💡 The answer is simple: teamwork! 🤝 A good example is our new Adapter Board RAB4. We and the Rutronik Wireless Competence Center strongly believe that Real-Time Kinematics will continue to grow in importance. RTK is much more accurate than conventional multi-GNSS systems and becomes increasingly economically attractive. What is missing is hardware which allows the development of projects quick, cost-effective, and simple, but in a technically sophisticated manner. Our RAB4 offers the perfect opportunity to test the performance of RTK: ✔️ State-of-the-art components like the high-precision RTK positioning module UM980 from Unicore Communications, Inc. Communications ✔️ Multi-GNSS receiver to easily compare outputs with each other ✔️100 MB prepaid SIM card so developers can start immediately Click here for more information about our RAB4: https://lnkd.in/ebv479_W By the way: Our RAB4 will celebrate its premiere at embedded world Exhibition&Conference at the Rutronik stand in Hall 2 Booth 248, where an application example will be shown. More about that soon! #RutronikSystemSolutions #Rutronik #RTK #Unicore #ew24

My thoughts on the evolution of telematics 5, 10, or maybe 50 years beyond? #Teltonika 5 years from now: Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): With the integration of telematics, ADAS will become more sophisticated, offering features like real-time traffic navigation, predictive maintenance alerts, and enhanced safety measures. Insurance Telematics: Usage-based insurance (UBI) will become more prevalent, with premiums based on driving behavior and vehicle usage patterns. 10 years from now: Autonomous Vehicles: Telematics will play a crucial role in the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles. Real-time data transmission will enable vehicles to make intelligent decisions, enhancing safety and efficiency. Smart Cities: Telematics will contribute to the development of smart cities, facilitating efficient traffic management, smart parking solutions, and improved public transportation systems. 50 years from now: Interplanetary Telematics: As space travel becomes more common, telematics might extend beyond Earth, facilitating communication and navigation for interplanetary travel. AI-Driven World: Telematics could be integrated into virtually every aspect of daily life, from smart homes to healthcare, creating an interconnected, AI-driven world. #Teltonika

I am pleased to share with you our recent article "Signal-free Path-free Intersection Control for Connected Vehicles under Automated Driving" published in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles. In this paper, we present a method for the signal-free path-free intersection control (SPIC) problem which involves coordinating connected vehicles under automated driving (CVAD) at urban intersections. A receding horizon planner is formulated as an extension of the nonlinear model predictive contouring control (NMPCC), referred to as ENMPCC. The ENMPCC method involves the inclusion of additional cost terms, traffic safety constraints, and the generation of multiple time-independent reference paths. The proposed method drops the constraints on the allowed paths within the intersection. This allows CVAD to move freely along optimal trajectories and paths, maximizing efficiency without compromising safety. Many thanks to all co-authors, Dr. Alireza Olama, Prof. Rodrigo Castelan Carlson, and Prof. Eduardo Camponogara. The article is available through the following link: https://lnkd.in/eVhJxqDS

Boosting positioning accuracy for aftermarket telematics solutions with dual-band GNSS! 🛰️ Choosing the ideal receiver to achieve optimal positioning accuracy can be quite a challenge. However, with dual-band technology, designers can improve both traditional GNSS and dead-reckoning receivers, hitting two targets with one arrow.🎯 To validate this theory, we have conducted road tests.
