The autonomous driving method using magnetic sensors recognizes the position by measuring magnetic fields in autonomous robots or vehicles after installing magnetic markers in a moving path. The Position estimate method using magnetic sensors has an advantage of being affected less by variation of driving environment such as oil, water and dust due to the use of magnetic field. It also has the advantages that we can use the magnet as an indicator and there is no consideration for power and communication environment. In this paper, we propose an efficient sensor system for an autonomous driving vehicle supplemented for existing disadvantage. In order to efficiently eliminate geomagnetism, we analyze the components of the horizontal and vertical magnetic field. We propose an algorithm for position estimation and geomagnetic elimination to ease analysis, and also propose an initialization method for sensor applied in the vehicle. We measured and analyzed the developed system in various environments, and we verify the advantages of proposed methods.

This paper describes autonomous emergency braking systems (AEB) for elderly drivers designed to consider their driving characteristics. With aging, perception-reaction time, and decision-making time increase accordingly. Without being aware of these performance degradations, however, changes in driving patterns due to increased alertness while driving lead to vehicle crashes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an autonomous emergency braking system by incorporating the characteristics of the elderly driver. In order to enhance the driver acceptance of older people, perception-reaction time, alertness, and ride comfort need to be considered for conventional autonomous emergency braking systems (C-AEB). Proactive AEB(P-AEB) algorithm has been proposed to reflect human factor of elderly driver above. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated through MATLAB simulink simulation studies. It has been shown from the computer simulations that the proposed P-AEB algorithm enhances the driver acceptance of older people by improving ride comfort while ensuring safety of vehicle.

In autonomous driving, object recognition based on machine learning is one of the core software technologies. In particular, the object recognition using deep learning becomes an essential element for autonomous driving software to operate. In this paper, we introduce a drivable area detection method based on Region-based CNN model to support autonomous driving. To effectively detect the drivable area, we used the BDD dataset for model training and demonstrated its effectiveness. As a result, our R-CNN model using BDD datasets showed interesting results in training and testing for detection of drivable areas.

Remote-controlled and autonomous driving based on artificial intelligence are key elements required for unmanned combat vehicles. The required capability of such an unmanned combat vehicle should be expressed in reasonable required operational capability(ROC). To this end, in this paper, the requirements of an unmanned combat vehicle operated under a manned-unmanned teaming were analyzed. The functional requirements are remote operation and control, communication, sensor-based situational awareness, field environment recognition, autonomous return, vehicle tracking, collision prevention, fault diagnosis, and simultaneous localization and mapping. Remote-controlled and autonomous driving of unmanned combat vehicles could be achieved through the combination of these functional requirements. It is expected that the requirement analysis results presented in this study will be utilized to satisfy the military operational concept and provide reasonable technical indicators in the system development stage.

This paper presents a development of simulation environment for validation of autonomous driving (AD) algorithm based on Robot Operating System (ROS). ROS is one of the commonly-used frameworks utilized to control autonomous vehicles. For the evaluation of AD algorithm, a 3D autonomous driving simulator has been developed based on LGSVL. Two additional sensors are implemented in the simulation vehicle. First, Lidar sensor is mounted on the ego vehicle for real-time driving environment perception. Second, GPS sensor is equipped to estimate ego vehicle's position. With the vehicle sensor configuration in the simulation, the AD algorithm can predict the local environment and determine control commands with motion planning. The simulation environment has been evaluated with lane changing and keeping scenarios. The simulation results show that the proposed 3D simulator can successfully imitate the operation of a real-world vehicle.

The development of autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) technology has grown rapidly in recent years. As most traffic accidents occur due to human error, self-driving vehicles can drastically reduce the number of accidents and crashes that occur on the roads today. Obviously, technical advancements in autonomous driving can lead to improved public driving safety. However, due to the current limitations in technology and lack of public trust in self-driving cars (and drones), the actual use of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) is still significantly low. According to prior studies, people's acceptance of an AV is mainly determined by trust. It is proven that people still feel much more comfortable in personalized ADAS, designed with the way people drive. Based on such needs, a new attempt for a customized ADAS considering each driver's driving style is proposed in this paper. Each driver's behavior is divided into two categories: assertive and defensive. In this paper, a novel customized ADAS algorithm with high classification accuracy is designed, which divides each driver based on their driving style. Each driver's driving data is collected and simulated using CARLA, which is an open-source autonomous driving simulator. In addition, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) machine learning algorithms are used to optimize the ADAS parameters. The proposed scheme results in a high classification accuracy of time series driving data. Furthermore, among the vast amount of CARLA-based feature data extracted from the drivers, distinguishable driving features are collected selectively using Support Vector Machine (SVM) technology by comparing the amount of influence on the classification of the two categories. Therefore, by extracting distinguishable features and eliminating outliers using SVM, the classification accuracy is significantly improved. Based on this classification, the ADAS sensors can be made more sensitive for the case of assertive drivers, enabling more advanced driving safety support. The proposed technology of this paper is especially important because currently, the state-of-the-art level of autonomous driving is at level 3 (based on the SAE International driving automation standards), which requires advanced functions that can assist drivers using ADAS technology.

Autonomous driving is one of the most important new technologies of our time; it has benefits in terms of safety, the environment, and economic issues. Path following algorithms, such as automated lane keeping systems (ALKSs), are key level 3 or higher functions of autonomous driving. Pure-Pursuit and Stanley controllers are widely used because of their good path tracking performance and simplicity. However, with the Pure-Pursuit controller, corner cutting behavior occurs on curved roads, and the Stanley controller has a risk of divergence depending on the response of the steering system. In this study, we use the advantages of each controller to propose a hybrid control strategy that can be stably applied to complex driving environments. The weight of each controller is determined from the global and local curvature indexes calculated from HD map information and the current driving speed. Our experimental results demonstrate the ability of the hybrid controller, which had a cross-track error of under 0.1 m in a virtual environment that simulates K-City, with complex driving environments such as urban areas, community roads, and high-speed driving roads.

This paper presents a longitudinal control algorithm for ensuring takeover time of autonomous vehicle using V2V communication. In the autonomous driving of more than level 3, autonomous systems should control the vehicles by itself partially. However if the driver's intervention is required for functional safety, the driver should take over the control reasonably. Autonomous driving system has to be designed so that drivers can take over the control from autonomous vehicle reasonably for driving safety. In this study, control algorithm considering takeover time has been developed based on computation method of takeover time. Takeover time is analysed by conditions of longitudinal velocity of preceding vehicle in time-velocity plane. In addition, desired clearance is derived based on takeover time. The performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm in this study was conducted using 3D vehicle model with actual driving data in Matlab/Simulink environment. The results of the performance evaluation show that the longitudinal control algorithm can control while securing takeover time reasonably.
