Autonomous Vehicle Simulation Model to Assess Potential Collisions to Reduce Severity of Impacts

Multi-attribute decision making on mitigating a collision of an autonomous vehicle on motorways

“…It combines a new simulation model of the vehicles on the motorway and multi-attribute decision making (MADM) methods to recommend which lane the autonomous vehicle should manoeuvre into or stay put. Following on from the research presented in (Gilbert et al, 2018 andPickering et al, 2018), the simulation model based on dynamic braking is developed, to calculate the potential impact velocities the autonomous vehicle may have when facing multiple collisions possibly in multiple lanes of the motorway. This simulation model can be considered to be an evolution of the current Adaptive Cruise Control and AEB systems.…”
