Title: Towards Mechatronics Approach of System Design, Verification and Validation for Autonomous Vehicles
Modern-day autonomous vehicles are increasingly becoming complex multidisciplinary systems composed of mechanical, electrical, electronic, computing and information subsystems. Furthermore, the individual constituent technologies employed for developing autonomous vehicles have started maturing up to a point, where it seems beneficial to start looking at the synergistic integration of these components into sub-systems, systems, and potentially, system-of-systems. Hence, this work applies the principles of mechatronics approach of system design, verification and validation for the development of autonomous vehicles. Particularly, we discuss leveraging multidisciplinary codesign practices along with virtual, hybrid and physical prototyping and testing within a concurrent engineering framework to develop and validate a scaled autonomous vehicle using the AutoDRIVE Ecosystem. We also describe a case-study of autonomous parking application using a modular probabilistic framework to illustrate the benefits of the proposed approach.  more » « less

    The recent development in transportation, such as energy-efficient and autonomous vehicles, defines a condition for the students in transportation engineering. Students in the field of transportation engineering should be ready upon their graduation with new knowledge and skills that are compatible with the need of the industry and sustainable engineering practices. During summers of2018 and 2019, we developed and implemented an eight-week program to increase the knowledge and skills of students coming from multidisciplinary fields related to autonomous vehicles. Problem of “How much will platooning reduce fuel consumption and emissions per vehicle mile traveled?” was instrumentalized in subsequent activities to introduce the comprehensive knowledge structure of autonomous vehicles. The engineering concept of reducing the cost and sustainability was embedded in the leading research question that helped us to develop and implement activities on an overall knowledge structure in autonomous vehicles. The goal of using problem-based learning activities was not to encourage the students to focus on reaching the solution merely. We aimed to introduce the multidisciplinary knowledge and critical skills aspects of learning about disruptive technologies. In this paper, we will discuss how a multidisciplinary research approach was incorporated into a problem-based learning activity. The students were introduced the subjects related to math, physics, computer science, and biology as the integration of the knowledge structure of autonomous vehicles. We will also present the results on students’ use of critical skills such as machine learning and computer programming.

    Modeling is a significant piece of the puzzle in achieving safety certificates for distributed IoT and cyberphysical systems. From smart home devices to connected and autonomous vehicles, several modeling challenges like dynamic membership of participants and complex interaction patterns, span across application domains. Modeling multiple interacting vehicles can become unwieldy and impractical as vehicles change relative positions and lanes. In this paper, we present an egocentric abstraction for succinctly modeling local interactions among an arbitrary number of agents around an ego agent. These models abstract away the detailed behavior of the other agents and ignore present but physically distant agents. We show that this approach can capture interesting scenarios considered in the responsibility sensitive safety (RSS) framework for autonomous vehicles. As an illustration of how the framework can be useful for analysis, we prove safety of several highway driving scenarios using egocentric models. The proof technique also brings to the forefront the power of a classical verification approach, namely, inductive invariant assertions. We discuss possible generalizations of the analysis to other scenarios and applications.

    The use of underwater robot systems, including Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), has been studied as an effective way of monitoring and exploring dynamic aquatic environments. Furthermore, advances in artificial intelligence techniques and computer processing led to a significant effort towards fully autonomous navigation and energy-efficient approaches. In this work, we formulate a reinforcement learning framework for long-term navigation of underwater vehicles in dynamic environments using the techniques of tile coding and eligibility traces. Simulation results used actual oceanic data from the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) data set collected in Southern California Bight (SCB) region, California, USA

    This paper addresses the challenges of computational accountability in autonomous systems, particularly in Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), where safety and efficiency often conflict. We begin by examining current approaches such as cost minimization, reward maximization, human-centered approaches, and ethical frameworks, noting their limitations addressing these challenges. Foreseeability is a central concept in tort law that limits the accountability and legal liability of an actor to a reasonable scope. Yet, current data-driven methods to determine foreseeability are rigid, ignore uncertainty, and depend on simulation data. In this work, we advocate for a new computational approach to establish foreseeability of autonomous systems based on the legal “BPL” formula. We provide open research challenges, using fully autonomous vehicles as a motivating example, and call for researchers to help autonomous systems make accountable decisions in safety-critical scenarios.

    This paper studies congestion-aware route- planning policies for Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems, whereby a fleet of autonomous vehicles provides on- demand mobility under mixed traffic conditions. Specifically, we first devise a network flow model to optimize the AMoD routing and rebalancing strategies in a congestion-aware fashion by accounting for the endogenous impact of AMoD flows on travel time. Second, we capture reactive exogenous traffic consisting of private vehicles selfishly adapting to the AMoD flows in a user- centric fashion by leveraging an iterative approach. Finally, we showcase the effectiveness of our framework with a case- study considering the transportation sub-network in New York City. Our results suggest that for high levels of demand, pure AMoD travel can be detrimental due to the additional traffic stemming from its rebalancing flows, whilst the combination of AMoD with walking or micromobility options can significantly improve the overall system performance.
