2 HAVEit General Information Project full title: Project coordinator: Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport Dr. Reiner Hoeger, Continental Automotive GmbH Integrated project: ICT , project no Start: 01 February 2008 End: 31 July 2011 Budget / funding: 28 M / 17 M Consortium 18 Partners plus 5 Third Parties: EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 2

3 HAVEit Motivation and Background Motivation: Improvement of safety and environmental friendliness Approach highly automated vehicle applications supporting the driver in overload and underload situations Background Driver strengths: take responsibility, draw conclusions, monitor systems Driver weakness: tendency to get distracted and inattentive in long-lasting monotonous driving situations Automation strength: attentiveness independent of trip duration EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 3

4 HAVEit Proposed Solution Automation spectrum Automated Driving is a multiple use technology Less accidents Less traffic jams by steady flow, no disturbance injection Improved energy efficiency Automation and cooperative technologies go hand in hand EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 4

5 HAVEit Technical Objectives Technical objectives Research Needs Provide technologies for situation awareness (driving scene, vehicle state, driver state) Develop effective and efficient algorithms to define maneuvers and trajectories Decide on the optimum automation level (task repartition driver automation) Develop suitable HMI concept Elaborate safe vehicle architecture Show new capabilities and functions in seven demonstrator vehicles (passenger cars, trucks and bus) Integration and optimisation progressing according to plan.

6 HAVEit Main Outcomes Common HAVEit Architecture Driver interface components to assess the driver state and to integrate the driver in the automation loop Command layer to define maneuver, trajectory and automation level and to generate the safe motion control vector Driver Driver monitoring Driver state assessment HMI Mode selection unit automation level Environment sensors Sensor data fusion maneuver trajectory Command generation and validation Co-Pilot motion control vector Vehicle sensors joint system Perception layer for real-time scene recognition Execution layer Drivetrain control to perform the safe motion control vector Steering Brakes Engine Gearbox EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 6

7 HAVEit Main Outcomes Joint System: Driver Co-System Co-pilot º Performs motion planning accounting a current situation º Generates optimal trajectories that fit with the objectives: - Collision free trajectories - Lane departure supervision º Optimal trajectories in terms of e.g. trajectory lengths, fuel consumption, safety margins º Two level computation - Strategy level for maneuvers selection (coarse level) - Planning level: trajectory planning and risk assessment (fine level) Maneuver grid EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 7

8 HAVEit Main Outcomes Joint System: Driver Co-System Mode Selection and Arbitration Unit (MSU) º Situation dependent selection of the automation level Driver State Assessment (DSA) º Driver s activity and driving performance correlate with increasing drowsiness level and distraction º Fusion of direct (camera based) and indirect (driver activity based) attentiveness and drowsiness information (fusion is based on state and confidence parameters) º Verification via simulator studies Information Warning Take over request EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 8

11 HAVEit Main Outcomes Automated assistance in roadworks and congestion º Inquiry of the German expert organization DEKRA among 1700 drivers about roadworks 46% feel here frequently uncertain one out of six drivers (17%) feels sometimes real fear usually 42% even avoid the left lane º Challenging environment multiple/missing lane marks other vehicles construction barriers narrow space Driver needs assistance but today's assistance systems can t provide sufficient confidence to support him EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 11

12 HAVEit Main Outcomes Automated assistance in roadworks and congestion º Sensor system to observe environment EUCAR Conference Brussels, 09 November 2010 HAVEit 12
