Workshop: Towards Autonomous Driving
Technology for vehicle automation is evolving rapidly. Robotaxis are hitting the road in various cities around the globe and OEM offerings for level 3 ALKS systems become reality. Nevertheless, these systems are highly complex and ensuring safety is challenging. Though the Netherlands has been a frontrunner in autonomous driving with the autonomous Parkshuttles in the Rotterdam Rivium area, coming to wider implementation and acceptance of autonomous driving in the Netherlands is still to come and we need to tackle related challenges.Different perspectivesThis workshop highlights the road towards autonomous driving in the Netherlands from different perspectives: The RDW will elaborate on the homologation perspective, taking into account that AI-based solutions are required to cope with challenging real-life traffic scenarios. Rijkswaterstaat will inform us from a road infrastructure and human factors perspective. VDL will highlight the OEM perspective for mixed-traffic and public domain applications and HAN will present the SafeCLAI project, aiming for a re-usable safety concept for low-speed autonomous vehicles.Program12.30h Networking lunch13.30h Welcome by Bram Hendrix, RAI Automotive Industry NL13.45h Speaker Mark Vroegop, Unit Manager Innovation Expertteam and Program Manager Innovation Knowledge agenda at RDW14.15h Speaker Boris van Waterschoot, Senior Advisor Human Factors at Rijkswaterstaat14:45h BREAK15.00h Speakers Andries van den Heuvel, VDL Automated Vehicles and Jeroen van der Werf, VDL ETS15.30h Speaker Jan Benders, Program Manager Control Systems at HAN Automotive Research and projectleader of the SafeCLAI projectFeeThis workshop is free of charge.
