Scope of the Workshop
Scope of the Workshop
There is a growing demand for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Intelligent Vehicles (IV), Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) and Assistive Mobility (AM) in unstructured environments. Current solutions deployed by vehicle manufacturers in the ITS, IV and ADAS space are based on the assumptions that the environment is well-structured with well-defined lanes, road surface markings, traffic signs and lights and stringent and well-defined traffic rules are followed.
These assumptions may not hold in unstructured environments where there may be a need to identify the drivable area, free of all dynamic and static obstacles as well as road anomalies. Detection of static obstacles such as vehicles parked on the side of the road, presence of vendor carts and people around it, various barriers, trees, poles, sinages as well as dynamic obstacles such as animals, pedestrians, cyclists, and other standard and non-standard vehicles, are important for safe driving. Presence of a large number of two-wheeler traffic also pose challenges, both for the riders as well as the drivers of other vehicles. Lack of proper lane markings, traffic signals and traffic lights along with presence of road anomalies such as pot-holes, water puddles, cracks, etc. add to the complexities of driving in such environments. Therefore, the ITS, IV and ADAS solutions developed and deployed in well-structured environments are difficult to seamlessly adapt to unstructured environments. These challenges offer new research opportunities for developing more robust and all-encompassing ITS, IV and ADAS solutions. These novel solutions will also help advance the areas of assistive mobility and transportation. Driver behaviour is highly affected by the driving conditions, socio-economic situation and cultural nuances and therefore, unstrucutred environments also pose novel problems in the area of driver monitoring. Implementation of technologies such as CV2X also need to be streamlined for proper deployment in such environments to be able to leverage its advantages.
Intelligent traffic management in such scenarios also poses novel challenges, not present in the well-structured environments. Optimal routing, scheduling and management of various modes of transportation such as Road, Railways, Air and Sea also form a part of intelligent transportation. These complex transportation networks require highly complex real-time computational algorithms to ensure time bound and accurate performance. Communication among vehicles, use of wireless networks and smartphone apps for V2X communication in such scenarios also bring in a large number of novel research challenges, particularly in ensuring the security and reliability of communication channels and the trustworthiness of the devices and onboard systems involved.
Assistive mobility gives dignity of life to the less abled, giving them the freedom to lead a normal life. Unstructured environments currently pose many challenges for assistive mobility solutions to be deployed easily. Therefore, not only is it important to address the challenges of complex unstructured environments for bringing safety and autonomy in vehicles, transport and traffic infrastructure, it is also necessary to adapt or develop novel solutions in the areas of assistive mobility in unstructured environments.
The aim of the 6th edition of this workshop is to engage with the the vast and diverse research community to explore and find novel solutions or adapt existing solutions to the problems in the areas of Intelligent Transportation systems, Intelligent vehicles and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in chaotic and unstructured environments. The workshop will also be a platform to share with the research community the ongoing research efforts in these areas. It will also be a good platform to discuss approaches to gather and share large amounts of real, high quality data of the varied unstructured environments.
The previous editions of the workshop have been highly successful in fostering new collaborations and bringing together researchers and practitioners with shared interests. These interactions have also contributed to the initiation of the IEEE Standards PAR P3538, titled “Guide for Metadata on Road Accidents in Low and Middle Income Countries and Regions.”
