Verifying training datasets in vision-based vehicle safety applications is crucial to understanding the potential limitations of detection capabilities that may result in a higher safety risk. Vision-based pedestrian safety applications with crash avoidance technologies rely on prompt detection to avoid a crash. This research aims to develop a verification process for vulnerable road user safety applications with vision-based detection functionalities. It consists of reviewing the application’s safety requirements, identifying the target objects of detection in the operational design domain and pre-crash scenarios, and evaluating the safety risks qualitatively by examining the training dataset based on the results of pre-crash scenarios classification. As a demonstration, the process is implemented using open-source pedestrian tracking software, and the pre-crash scenarios are classified based on the trajectories of pedestrians in an example training dataset used in a pedestrian

To address the issues of unreasonable collision avoidance path planning algorithms and inadequate safety in high-speed scenarios, a trajectory prediction-based collision avoidance path planning algorithm has been proposed. First, a trajectory prediction model is constructed using the long–short-term memory (LSTM) network, and the trajectory prediction model is trained and tested with the HighD dataset. Second, the future trajectory of the obstacle car is predicted, the future trajectory information of the two cars is combined to generate the lane-changing decision, and the three-times B-spline curves are used to generate the collision avoidance path clusters. The optimal collision avoidance paths are generated based on the multi-objective optimization function. Finally, build a MATLAB/CarSim simulation platform to verify the reasonableness and safety of the planned paths by taking the three scenarios of the continuous overtaking, preceding car pulling out, and the neighboring car

Cooperation lies at the core of multiagent systems (MAS) and multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL), where agents must navigate between individual interests and collective benefits. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like collision avoidance systems and adaptive cruise control, exemplify agents striving to optimize personal and collective outcomes in multiagent environments. The study focuses on strategies aimed at fostering cooperation with the aid of game-theoretic scenarios, particularly the iterated prisoner’s dilemma, where agents aim to optimize personal and group outcomes. Existing cooperative strategies, such as tit-for-tat and win-stay lose-shift, while effective in certain contexts, often struggle with scalability and adaptability in dynamic, large-scale environments. The research investigates these limitations and proposes modifications to align individual gains with collective rewards, addressing real-world dilemmas in distributed systems. By analyzing existing

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are technologies that automate, facilitate, and improve the vehicle’s systems. Indeed, these systems directly interfere with braking, acceleration, and drivability of driving operations. Thus, the use of ADAS directly reflects the psychology behind driving a vehicle, which can have an automation level that varies from fully manual (Level 0) to fully autonomous (Level 5). Even though ADAS technologies provide safer driving, it is still a challenge to understand the complexity of human factors that influence and interact with these new technologies. Also, there has been limited exploration of the correlation between the physical and cognitive driver reactions and the characteristics of Brazilian roads and traffic. Therefore, the present work sought to establish a preliminary investigation into a method for evaluating the driving response profile under the influence of ADAS technologies, such as Lane Centering and Forward Collision Warning, on

Traditional pedestrian detection methods have poor robustness. Deep learning-based methods have shown high performance in recent years but rely on substantial computational resources. Developing a lightweight, deep learning-based pedestrian detection algorithm is essential for applying deep learning-based algorithms in resource-limited scenarios, such as driverless and advanced driver assistance systems. In this article, an improved model based on YOLOv3 called “YOLOPD” (You Only Look Once—Pedestrian Detection), is proposed. It is obtained by constructing a self-attentive module, introducing a CIOU (Complete Intersection over Union) loss function and a depth separated convolutional layer. Experimental results show that on the INRIA (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation), Caltech, and CityPerson pedestrian dataset, the MR (miss rate) of the model YOLOPD is better than that of the original YOLOv3 model, and the number of parameters is reduced by about 1/3

Path planning in parking scenarios for vehicles with Ackermann steering characteristics is a well studied problem in the literature. However, the recent emergence of four-wheel steering (4WS) chassis has brought new opportunities to the field of motion planning. Compared with front-wheel steering (2WS), 4WS vehicles offer higher flexibility and new maneuver modes such as CrabWalk. To utilize such new potential to further improve parking efficiency, this paper proposes a four-wheel steering oriented planning algorithm for parking scenarios. First, Hybrid A*-4WS is proposed to search for a coarse trajectory from the starting pose to the parking slot, with improved node expansion mechanism to incorporate four-wheel steering characteristics. Then a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem is formulated with four-wheel steering kinematic model to fully utilize the maneuver capability of 4WS vehicles, with OBCA used for collision avoidance constraints. Finally, the two algorithms are sequentially
