  2. 11. Safety Evaluation of Road Characteristics

    Author : Sarbaz Najib Othman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident data; FOT data; Overtaking maneuvers; Road safety; PC-Crash; Critical road parameters; Horizontal curves;

    Abstract : Accidents are rare and widely distributed on the road network, which poses a challenge for road safety improvement. Traditional methods alone, such as accident analyses and experimental studies, do not explain all accident causation factors. READ MORE

  4. 12. Driving Violations : Investigating Forms of Irrational Rationality

    Author : Sonja Forward; Lars Åberg; Dianne Parker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; theory of planned behaviour; driving violations; risk-taking; speeding; dangerous overtaking; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Several aspects contribute to road crashes and one important part is the ‘human factor’. This information is interesting but insufficient unless we also try to understand what is meant by the term. READ MORE

  5. 13. Safe Autonomy under Uncertainty: Computation, Control, and Application

    Author : Yulong Gao; Karl H. Johansson; Lihua Xie; ‪Frank Allgöwer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Safe autonomy; shared autonomy; probabilistic controlled invariant set; invariant cover; linear temporal logic; temporal logic tree; safe teleoperation; automated car overtaking; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Safety is a primary requirement for many autonomous systems, such as automated vehicles and mobile robots. An open problem is how to assure safety, in the sense of avoiding unsafe subsets of the state space, for uncertain systems under complex tasks. READ MORE

  6. 14. Complexity-aware Decision-making with Applications to Large-scale and Human-in-the-loop Systems

    Author : Elis Stefansson; Karl H. Johansson; Henrik Sandberg; Iman Shames; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Complexity-aware Decision-making; Automata Theory; Automatic Control; Optimal Control; Kolmogorov Complexity; Hierarchical Finite State Machines; Large-scale Systems; Human-in-the-loop; Game Theory; Human Decision-making; Autonomous vehicles; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis considers control systems governed by autonomous decision-makers and humans. We formalise and compute low-complex control policies with applications to large-scale systems, and propose human interaction models for controllers to compute interaction-aware decisions. READ MORE

  7. 15. Computationally efficient exact remodeling of optimization programs with applications to autonomous driving

    Author : Johan Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous driving; Real-time implementation; Model predictive control; Convex optimization;

    Abstract : The future of autonomous vehicles is rapidly approaching and the published and available research, both from vehicle manufacturers and universities, is abundant. This new technology promises less pollution, lower accident rates, decreased congestion and the possibility to relax or work while a vehicle takes you where you need to go. READ MORE
