Summary
Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in automated, connected, and cooperative driving across various work environments. Specifically, systems and algorithms for perceiving the environment have been refined, as well as the understanding of this environment for developing the vehicle's situational awareness and decision-making techniques in increasingly complex scenarios. In fact, all these advances have led to highly relevant trials on open roads around the world, demonstrating the capabilities achieved but also the limitations and areas of study that remain open, both technical and non-technical.
Therefore, this special issue aims to cover the advances in the technological and algorithmic elements of these vehicles, focusing on sensing, intelligent decision-making, and control systems. It also considers applications of automated driving to specific environments, as well as the crucial role of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications in enhancing situational awareness and facilitating higher, more effective levels of automation.
The key topics of this special issue, though not limited to them, are:
- perception systems for automated vehicles
- decision-making in automated vehicles
- vehicle-to-vehicle and infrastructure communications
- applications of automated and/or cooperative driving
Keywords
