University gets new test vehicle dedicated to automated driving research
The Laboratory of Automatic, Mechanical, Industrial and Human Computing (LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201) of the UPHF is currently developing, in collaboration with the company FH Electronics, a demonstrator of "Cooperating Automated Vehicle" based on a DS7 vehicle.
Waiting for the arrival of the "autonomous vehicle", current vehicles are equipped with a growing number of driving assistance systems (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system, ...). These driving aids aim to improve safety and comfort, but their number and complexity raise questions about human-machine cooperation. This is why their integration must be carefully studied in order to guarantee the objectives in terms of safety.
The LAMIH CNRS has been carrying out for more than 20 years both hardware and software prototyping works as well as numerous tests and experiments of these assistance systems thanks to the dynamic simulator SHERPA. The transition to the real vehicle remains nevertheless an essential step to validate the work. This new vehicle will allow for safe testing, mainly on the Gyrovia test track (Transalley technopole) located on the edge of the Mont Houy campus.
The vehicle is currently used for two research projects on this theme of Driver - Automated Vehicle cooperation: the CPER ELSAT 2020 and the ANR CoCoVeIA project (National Research Agency). These projects are collaborative and involve regional and national, industrial and academic partners: the companies Stellantis, Continental, Valeo and SpirOps, the Universities of Artois, Lille and Caen.
