Autonomous Mobility Platform

Platform

Description

The "Autonomous Mobility" technology platform includes four major technological equipment for the development and testing of autonomous road and rail transport systems:

- SHERPA platform, full-scale dynamic driving simulator 🡭

- Citroën C1 and DS7 prototype vehicles (Autonomous Lab Car & PRIVAC platforms), open architecture vehicles equipped with sensors (LIDAR, RADAR, GPS RTK, inertial centre, etc.), interfaces (reconfigurable dashboard, driver HMI, steering input); and on-board computers (MicroAutoBox, PC Real-Time, ...) for prototyping and testing of technological solutions for the autonomous vehicle on track and open road;

- the PSCHITT-Rail platform, a full-scale dynamic ferro-rail simulator 🡭

- PSCHITT-PMR Platform, Dynamic Wheelchair Travel Simulator 🡭

This equipment is part of the SHERPA, PSCHITT-Rail, C1 and DS7 platforms of the RITMEA CPER regional AV-Lab platform and the PSCHITT-PMR platform of the RITMEA CPER regional PMR-Lab platform.

Expertises

Skills

Two general orientations:
- Study and modelling of driver and user behaviour;
- Design, prototyping and evaluation of advanced driver assistance systems;

A specific methodology and tools supporting the methodology

Knowledge related to the automation of transport systems:
- Trajectory planning, control (longitudinal and lateral)
- Multi-level cooperation with the driver
- Haptic shared control
- “Interactive” planning
- HMI (Human Machine Interaction)

Learning for Adaptation:
- Learning techniques
- Evolution of automation according to learning (preferences and adaptation)

System Validation:
- Stability – accuracy (mathematical evidence)
- Functional validation (numerical simulation, interactive simulation, real vehicle testing)
- Experimental validation with novice or experienced (professional) subjects, interactive simulator and real vehicle campaigns.
