Research and Innovation Platform for the Cooperative Automated Vehicle (PRIVAC)

Platform

Description

The PRIVAC (Research and Innovation Platform for the Cooperating Automated Vehicle) platform is a vehicle with an "open" architecture (DS7), dedicated to prototyping and testing technological solutions for the autonomous vehicle on track and on open road.
It is fully robotic and equipped with a set of sensors dedicated to road perception and obstacle detection. It allows a complete prototyping of the driver HMI (display on the dashboard and on the central touch screen, steering effort feedback, haptic return accelerator pedal, ...). It is also equipped with a series of sensors dedicated to the "monitoring" of the driver, including an eye tracking system.

Key features:

- Fully robotic vehicle: GMP, braking & steering
- Sensors for geolocation and obstacle detection: GPS-RTK, IMU, LIDAR, camera
- Fully customizable HMI: dashboard, central touch console, sound feedback, haptic accelerator pedal
- Driver monitoring: serial sensor, SmartEye (“Eye tracking”)
- Embedded ECUs: MicroAutoBox3 with PC embeded plus 3 additional industrial PCs (supervision, HMI and "Driver Monitoring")
- Software environment: RTMaps and Matlab/Simulink

Expertises

Skills

The DS7 is primarily dedicated to the design, prototyping and evaluation of advanced driver assistance systems. To this end, the laboratory has developed a specific methodology and various tools supporting it.

Know-how related to automated driving:
- Trajectory planning, control/control (longitudinal and lateral)
- Multi-level cooperation with the driver
- Haptic shared control
- “Interactive” planning
- HMI

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

Validation of developed systems:
- Stability/accuracy (mathematical evidence)
- Functional validation (numerical simulation, interactive simulation, real vehicle testing)
- Experimental validation with novice subjects (interactive simulator campaigns, real vehicle campaigns)
