Description du projet
Augmenter la capacité des VCA à gérer des situations inattendues
Dans le contexte de ce projet, on appelle «événements» les situations inattendues auxquelles sont confrontés les véhicules connectés et automatisés (VCA) dans le cadre de leur usage régulier. Les VAC doivent gérer ces événements de manière sûre et efficace. Un niveau d’automatisation plus élevé augmente la capacité du système, ainsi que sa complexité. Ces événements sont regroupés en trois cas d’utilisation: Interaction avec les usagers de la route vulnérables (URV), Conditions routières non standard et non structurées et Faible visibilité et conditions météorologiques défavorables. Le projet EVENTS, financé par l’UE, créera un système de perception et de prise de décision robuste et résilient permettant aux VCA de gérer différentes situations et de continuer à opérer en toute sécurité. Une manœuvre à faible risque améliorée sera déclenchée lorsque le système ne peut pas gérer l’événement.
Objectif
Driving is a challenging task. In our everyday life as drivers, we are facing unexpected situations we need to handle in a safe and efficient way. The same is valid for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), which also need to handle these situations, to a certain extent, depending on their automation level. The higher the automation level is, the higher the expectations for the system to cope with these situations are.
In the context of this project, these unexpected situations where the normal operation of the CAV is close to be disrupted (e.g. ODD limit is reached due to traffic changes, harsh weather/light conditions, imperfect data, sensor/communication failures, etc.), are called “events”. EVENTS is also the acronym of this project.
Today, CAVs are facing several challenges (e.g. perception in complex urban environments, Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) detection, perception in adverse weather and low visibility conditions) that should be overcome in order to be able to drive through these events in a safe and reliable way.
Within our scope, and in order to cover a wide area of scenarios, these kinds of events are clustered under three main use cases: a) Interaction with VRUs, b) Non-Standard and Unstructured Road Conditions and c) Low Visibility and Adverse Weather Conditions.
Our vision in EVENTS is to create a robust and self-resilient perception and decision-making system for AVs to manage different kind of “events” on the horizon. These events result in reaching the AV ODD limitations due to the dynamic changing road environment (VRUs, obstacles) and/or due to imperfect data (e.g. sensor and communication failures). The AV should continue and operate safely no matter what. When the system cannot handle the situation, an improved minimum risk manoeuvre should be put in place.
