Effects of External Human Machine Interfaces on Automated Vehicles' Communicative Interactions With Human Drivers

Driving involves communicative interactions where human drivers use communication signals to negotiate their right-of-way for road safety. The introduction of automated vehicles (AVs) in mixed-traffic environment, where human drivers will interact with AVs, will affect the nature of these communicative interactions. AVs and human-driven vehicles...

Lane Detection using Spatio-Temporal Attention

Lane detection represents a fundamental task for automated/autonomous vehicles. Current lane detection methods do not provide the versatility of real-time performance, robustness,and accuracy required for real-world scenarios. The reasons include lack of computing power while being portable and inability to observe the continuity and structure...

Understanding Behavioural Adaptations of Human Drivers interacting with Automated Vehicles

Advancements in technology are bringing Automated vehicles (AVs) closer to reality and it is not so far in future when these vehicles will have a significant penetration rate in our existing transport network. However, in the early phases of automation, penetration rate of these vehicles will be very low. This would lead to a mixed traffic...
