Connected and Automated Vehicles: History, Development, M-City, and the Future

主讲人 : 彭晖

Despite of continued progress, the number of fatalities and injuries caused by ground vehicles remain high. In the US, about 32,000 people were killed in 2010 and in China the number is about twice of that. Normalized by the vehicle population, in China the traffic fatality rate is about an order of magnitude higher than the world average.  The field of “intelligent vehicles” has experienced resurgence in recent years. Recently due to the push for the dedicated short range communication technology (DSRC), the relevant development is divided into two complementary areas of “automated vehicles” and “connected vehicles”, and both now seem to have more clear definitions of functions and enabling technologies.  SAE and the industrial coalition CAMP have defined the concept of automation into 6 levels, from no automation (level 0) to being fully driverless under all conditions (level 5). The communication through DSRC is also defined in a few SAE and IEEE standards in the US. There are several large-scale development effort and field tests in Europe and in the US. In this talk the recent development will be summarized, which will be followed by the fundamental challenges that remain to be addressed.
