Abstract:

Given recently  publicized demonstrations of autonomous vehicles operating on public streets,  various countries are considering technical, legal, and ethical issues related  to their legalization. Even without fully autonomy, intelligent transportation  systems have high potential for improvement of highway safety and throughput,  especially after “where-in-lane” accuracy can be reliably achieved. This  presentation will discuss the role of control and systems theoretic methods  related to practical autonomous vehicle applications, particularly as they  relate to automated construction of precise feature maps and reliable real-time  navigation with position accuracy at the decimeter level. Both applications  require reliable and automated data fusion from various sensor modalities:  LIDAR, camera, global navigation satellite systems, inertial measurements, etc.  The presentation will survey and present modern methods for roadway feature  mapping and vehicle state estimation. Results from a demonstration at the US  Department of Transportation Turner Fairbanks Research Center will be included.  

Biography  

Jay A. Farrell earned B.S. degrees in physics and  EE from Iowa State U., and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in EE from the U. of Notre Dame. At Charles Stark Draper Lab  (1989-1994), he received the Engineering Vice President's Best Technical  Publication Award in 1990, and  Recognition Awards for Outstanding Performance and Achievement in 1991 and 1993.  He is a Professor and two time Chair of the  Department of EE at the University of California, Riverside. He has served the  IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) as Finance Chair for three IEEE CDC`s (`95,  `01, and `03), on the Board of Governors for two terms (`03-`06, `12-`14),  as Vice President Finance and Vice  President of Technical Activities, as  General Chair of IEEE CDC 2012, and as  President in 2014. He was named a GNSS Leader to Watch for 2009-2010 by GPS  World Magazine in May 2009 and a winner of the Connected Vehicle Technology  Challenge by the U.S. Department of Transportation`s (DOT`s) Research and  Innovative Technology Administration in July 2011. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a  Fellow of AAAS, a Distinguished Member of IEEE CSS, and author of over 200  technical publications. He is author of the book "Aided Navigation: GPS with  High Rate Sensors" (McGraw-Hill 2008). He is also co-author of the books "The  Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation" (McGraw-Hill, 1998) and  "Adaptive Approximation Based Control: Unifying Neural, Fuzzy and Traditional  Adaptive Approximation Approaches" (John Wiley 2006).
