Design and Assessment of External Displays on Autonomous Vehicles for Pedestrian Safety
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-05)The most vulnerable group in road agents is pedestrians. In the Netherlands, from 2005 to 2009, the average lethality rate for vulnerable road users was 14 per 100 serious road injuries. Prior to autonomous vehicles (AV), ... -
Development of a Control System for an Urban Electric Vehicle Compatible with Autonomous Driving Features
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-10)As cities continue to grow, the roads only become more congested, leading drivers to spend more time commuting, while vehicle accidents continue to rise. The Mechatronics Vehicle Systems Laboratory has developed its own ... -
Hardware Implementation of Soft Computing Approaches for an Intelligent Wall-following Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)Soft computing techniques are generally well-suited for vehicular control systems that are usually modeled by highly nonlinear differential equations and working in unstructured environment. To demonstrate their applicability, ... -
A High-Fidelity VR Simulation Study: Do External Warnings Really Improve Pedestrian Safe Crossing Behavior?
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-27)To better communicate with pedestrians, adding external displays to autonomous vehicles (AVs) has been proposed as a potential communication method to encourage safe crossing behavior by pedestrians. Whereas, most researchers ... -
Integrated Stability and Tracking Control System for Autonomous Vehicle-Trailer Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-13)The addition of a trailer to a vehicle significantly changes the dynamics of a single-vehicle and generates new instability modes including jackknifing and snaking. Understanding of the dynamics of these modes leads to the ... -
Vehicle Dynamic Modelling and Parameter Identification for an Autonomous Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)For autonomous vehicles to be feasible, a fast and accurate model of the vehicle dynamics is required due to the complexity of the task. There are many different aspects to a driverless vehicle, including path planning, ...
