Autonomous Vehicles with Visual Signals for Pedestrians: Experiments and Design Recommendations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are the future of transportation and they will transform the dynamic of vehicle and pedestrian interaction. However, in the absence of a driver, it is not clear how an AV can use visual signals to ... -
Cooperative Autonomous Vehicle Speed Optimization near Signalized Intersections
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-12)Road congestion in urban environments, especially near signalized intersections, has been a major cause of significant fuel and time waste. Various solutions have been proposed to solve the problem of increasing idling ... -
Envisioning a Future City with Autonomous Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)The evolution and formation of our urban fabric have an inextricable relationship with transportation and urban mobility. The revolution in speed and power of transportation as a result of the automobile in the early ... -
Prioritized Obstacle Avoidance in Motion Planning of Autonomous Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-21)Driver errors are a critical factor of the majority of car crashes. Autonomous vehicles take drivers and driver errors out of the equation, so they are being developed to reduce car crashes. However, in some situations, a ... -
Towards Learning Feasible Hierarchical Decision-Making Policies in Urban Autonomous Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)Modern learning-based algorithms, powered by advanced deep structured neural nets, have multifacetedly facilitated automated driving platforms, spanning from scene characterization and perception to low-level control and ...
