AMBADI OMANAKUTTANNAIR, NEERAJ KUMAR (author)The European Commission has mandated the requirement of advanced safety features in all vehicles sold in the EU from 2022 onwards. This will help drivers get gradually used to ADS, eventually transitioning to fully autonomous driving in the distant future. There are more vehicles on road now equipped with lane-keeping systems and other driver...master thesis 2022

Alves Beirigo, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Schulte, F. (author)With the popularization of transportation network companies (TNCs) (e.g., Uber, Lyft) and the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs), even major car manufacturers are increasingly considering themselves as autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) providers rather than individual vehicle sellers. However, matching the convenience of owning a vehicle...journal article 2022

Los, J. (author), Schulte, F. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The trends of autonomous transportation and mobility on demand in line with large numbers of requests increasingly call for decentralized vehicle routing optimization. Multi-agent systems (MASs) allow to model fully autonomous decentralized decision making, but are rarely considered in current decision support approaches. We propose a multi...conference paper 2022

Bouwmeester, W. (author), Fioranelli, F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)A method to compute road surface signatures in the automotive scenario is presented. This method is subsequently applied to a rough asphalt surface without undulations. It is shown that, due to the observation geometry, the road surface signature experiences significant spreading along the Doppler-axis, resulting in a distinct range-Doppler map...conference paper 2022

Gao, Xin (author), Li, Xueyuan (author), Liu, Qi (author), Li, Z. (author), Yang, Fan (author), Luan, Tian (author)As one of the main elements of reinforcement learning, the design of the reward function is often not given enough attention when reinforcement learning is used in concrete applications, which leads to unsatisfactory performances. In this study, a reward function matrix is proposed for training various decision-making modes with emphasis on...journal article 2022

Raju, Narayana (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Reddy, N. (author), Dong, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author)Automated driving systems, which can take over certain dynamic driving tasks from the driver, are becoming increasingly available in commercial vehicles. One of these automated driving systems widely introduced in commercial vehicles is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). This system is designed to maintain certain desired driving speeds and time...journal article 2022

Dubey, S.K. (author), Sharma, Ishant (author), Mishra, Sabyasachee (author), Cats, O. (author), Bansal, Prateek (author)Due to the unavailability of prototypes, the early adopters of novel products actively seek information from multiple sources (e.g., media and social networks) to minimize the potential risk. The existing behavior models not only fail to capture the information propagation within the individual's social network, but also they do not...journal article 2022

Wijlens, R. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Takamatsu, Atsushi (author), Makita, Mitsuhiro (author), Wada, Takahiro (author)Without intervention the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles could be compromised by an increased incidence of motion sickness compared to conventional cars. To investigate whether passengers' motion sickness can be reduced by manipulating an autonomous vehicle's accelerations on a fixed route without altering the travel time, a human...journal article 2022

Marcelis, N.H.H. (author)With the performance of current motion planning methods being highly dependent on the quality of the perception system, robust 3D multi-object detection and tracking are vital for autonomous driving applications. Despite all the advancements in 2D and 3D object detectors, robust tracking of pedestrians in dense scenarios is still a challenging...master thesis 2021

van Oosterhout, Rosalie (author)CO2 emission of vehicles and its influence on climate change is a widely discussed topic already for many years. New CO2 emission norms for vehicles have been defined based on the 2021 baseline: 15% reduction resulting in 0.09 kg/km for 2025, and 37.5% reduction resulting in 0.069 kg/km for 2030. Both norms are defined under the Worldwide...master thesis 2021
