Safe automated driving

The introduction of more and more different advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving systems in new vehicles makes the interaction between driver and vehicle more complex and prone to errors. This puts increasing and changing requirements on the design of the Human-Machine Interface. In addition, driver monitoring is increasingly used to ensure that the driver is appropriately engaged in the driving task. This webinar will discuss the newest developments and challenges.

“Partial automation is a sophisticated form of driver assistance technology, but people often misunderstand its limits, which can lead to system misuse and driver distraction.”

Explainability and traceability is crucial for the safe deployment and successful certification of automated vehicles. TNO’s hybrid AI approach enhances the reasoning capabilities of self-driving systems by incorporating robust, context-aware motion planning. In this “Meet the Expert session”, experts explain the methodology and concrete demonstrators of this hybrid AI approach.

“One of the key challenges that must be addressed to introduce autonomous vehicles on a larger scale is how to design a system that can safely, intelligently, and efficiently navigate various traffic situations, environments, and weather conditions — even when the vehicle encounters an unfamiliar scenario.”

We aim to enhance mobility by making it safer, more sustainable, and efficient. Intelligent vehicle systems are key to this, supported by a robust digital infrastructure. Integrating external data can significantly improve these systems, extending the vehicle’s operational horizon. In this session, we will discuss challenges and solutions, including Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), e-charging, and smart intersections.
