AV and CV : cross-cutting issues

Main challenges to be addressed

‒ Technology (Control and perception for guidance …)

‒ Data protection (who owns and protects travel data)

‒ Cyber security (protects from hackers )

‒ Liability (who is responsible)

‒ Regulation (role of policy makers)

‒ Infrastructure

‒ Human adoption

Next gen Transport Systems

• Human factors and simulators

• Ground based or car-borne Technologies to help lateral guidance : Sivic, novel materials, Computer Vision, Augmented GNSS, • Towards an infrastructure readyness level for Autonomous vehicule • MaaS : data-driven multimodal heterogeneous fleet management (Connected,

autonomous + conventional), demand response management, C-ITS at large • Electric (Hydrogen?) roads : robust continuous recharging

• Novel Autonomous PRT systems • Pedestrian, last km, Flightpath2050 : towards full multimodality

• SHM/serviceability, sensors and data processing to enable AV : for ever open roads to AV

7

Human factors

• How pedestrian would behave among AVs? Simulators help

designing protection strategies

• Is level 3 realistic? Studies suggest

- Training helps taking control

- could be mandatory

Simulation with Pro-SiVIC (JV ESI-IFSTTAR) ESI’s Pro-SiVIC™ : a software platform for realistic simulations in 3D virtual environments : • infrastructures • road users, vehicle dynamics • lighting • perception sensors • all ADAS

SHOW CASED at CES Las Vegas 2017

Smart vision and lighting

Real-time Fog detection,

characterization elimination

Vehicle detected

Smart dynamic

autonomous lighting

Photonics : active IR, photon counting

12

Hybrid GNSS-Urban Map systems

to enhance Vehicule positioning

• Urban Trench Probabilistic Model

- Lateral accuracy enhanced by 40%

- Risk of integrity 10 times less

Beyond PATH automated road + …

Publicity by Carolina Power & Light Company, in Wilmington News, 18 january 1956 : One day your car may speed along an electric super highway, its speed and steering automatically controlled by electronic devices embedded in the road. Highways will be made safe by electricity! no traffic jams… no collisions… no driver fatigue : autonomous car for anyone
