Automated Driving System for Cooperative, Automated Driving in Urban Areas

Each Automated Connected Vehicle implements an Automated Driving System that enables a vehicle to operate without intervention of a human driver in a defined Operational Design Domain. Briefly speaking, an Operational Design Domain defines environmental and time-of-day conditions and restrictions, respectively, the presence or absence of certain traffic, and roadway characteristics. Furthermore, in order to facilitate cooperation during dynamic driving tasks, each Automated Driving System is embedded into the overall architecture, which connects infrastructure services and vehicles. That is, each Automated Driving System can rely on information from other Automated Connected Vehicles as well as Non-Automated Connected Vehicles, while simultaneously providing information such as driving maneuver intentions or sensor objects to both other traffic participants and infrastructure services.

 

In this talk, we introduce the major building blocks of our Automated Driving System. Furthermore, we describe how these building blocks are embedded into the overall system and how the different components interact with each other. Finally, we briefly introduce our experimental vehicle, which implements our Automated Driving Systems and allows for cooperative, automated driving in the digital testbed Dresden.

 

We further show how automated driving functions use HD-maps in OpenDRIVE-standard to navigate at testcorridors.
