IV 2000
IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Dearborn, MI, USA
October 4-5, 2000
The IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Council (ITSC) is
sponsoring a professional-level conference on basic research and
present and future applications for Intelligent Vehicles and
Intelligent Infrastructures. Papers dealing with vehicle-centered
intelligent systems are solicited. This symposium is characterized by
a single session format so that all the attendees remain in a single
room for multilateral communications in an informal atmosphere. As
another tradition, the meetings have enthusiastic participation from
industry, as well as research centers and universities. The IEEE
Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be held at
the same location on Oct. 2-3, 2000, and a single -reduced rate-
registration option will be available for both Conferences, as well as
individual registrations.
* TOPICS
Driver Assistance Systems System Architectures Sensors
Navigation/Guidance Systems Imaging and Vision Enhancement Vehicle Control
Information Systems Human-machine Interfaces Active Safety
Traffic Monitoring and Control Communications and Networks CAN
* PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper in electronic form
(Postscript) by March 1st, 2000 for peer review, following the
submission guidelines available at http://www.ce.unipr.it/iv2000.
Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages in IEEE
two-column format, including figures and references. Papers exceeding
this length limit may be rejected without review. The first page
should include (1) the title of the paper, (2) the names of the
authors, (3) the technical categories, and (4) the name, mailing
address, telephone and fax number, and e-mail address of the contact
author. Same papers may not be submitted to both IV and ITSC
conferences.
* SPECIAL SESSIONS
Military Applications and Current Research
Theme: This session will provide an opportunity to explore research
and development activities for autonomous and semi-autonomous ground
vehicle systems. It examines the technology requirements and
operational capabilities of robotic vehicle programs for military,
and commercial applications. The session brings together
technologists to discuss needs, opportunities and approaches for
adapting commercial automotive intelligent systems to meet military
off-road autonomous applications. The conference provides a unique
opportunity to identify commercial research projects and leverage the
results to meet crucial military requirements.
Topics: Government and Commercial programs: technical and performance
challenges, system performance, test results, lessons learned;
Machine perception for navigation and mission execution; Vehicle
mobility and motion control; Operator interface and human-robot
interactions.
Organizer:
Bruce Brendle U.S. Army Tank-automotive & Armaments Command

Autonomous Driving on Extreme Courses
Theme: This session is concerned with research and advanced
development for autonomous vehicle guidance in extreme driving
environment. Coping with such conditions is a prerequisite for the
introduction of advanced driver assistance functions. Hence, a
discussion of the requirements and approaches to meet with these
challenging conditions is expected to enhance insight into future
developments, reveal missing links between current research and
realization and provide impetus for new activities. The session
will gather experts from various disciplines to shed light on the
topic from different views. Topics: System architecture,
Multisensor systems, Advanced vehicle control, Driving strategy
formation, Self-assessment, Reliability and Safety, Driving robot.
Organizer:
Christoph Stiller, Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany
christoph.stiller@de.bosch.com
User Interfaces for On-Board Systems
Theme: This session will focus on user interfaces issues in
vehicle-centered intelligent systems and will feature experiences
from the usability engineering perspective. Issues include, for
instance, feedback, integration, synchronization, context, and how
to make the most value from devices within vehicles: many of these
are also issues for stand-alone systems, but mobility adds extra
problems and opportunities. Those attending the session will be
able to learn from and establish contacts with researchers who are
innovators in developing human-computer interfaces.
Topics: Feedback, Feedthrough, Integration, Synchronization, Context,
Multimodality, Design, Prototyping, Evaluation, Empirical studies.
Organizer:
Mauro Mosconi University of Pavia, Italy

Vehicle Motion Control Systems
Theme: This session will focus on control systems for autonomous
vehicle motion. Longitudinal and lateral control strategies of
car-like vehicles will be presented and the tight interplay with
sensing systems (vision and nonvision based) will be highlighted.
This session solicits methodology contributions as well as
experimental results.
Topics: Automatic steering control, Sensing systems, Visual guidance,
Image dynamics estimation, Trajectory generation, Supervisory
control, Advanced control systems design.
Organizers:
Aurelio Piazzi, Corrado Guarino Lo Bianco University of Parma, Italy

Autonomous Vehicle Cooperation and Coordination
Theme: Cooperation and coordination of activities and actions are
fundamental tasks when more than one agent is involved in
accomplishing a complex common goal. During the last few years
several projects have been started on such a topic. Among others,
the European Handshaking (part of Prometheus Project) subproject
where automobiles exchange information to better organize traffic
flow; the Japanese rescue project for intervention of autonomous
vehicles (robots) during catastrophic events; the international
RoboCup initiative where a team of autonomous indoor vehicles
(robots) have to coordinate their actions to implement a common
strategy to compete against another team according to the soccer
rules. The goal of the workshop is to focus on indoor and outdoor
autonomous vehicles cooperation and coordination issues and related
topics.
Topics: fleets of indoor/outdoor autonomous vehicles; autonomous
vehicles cooperation; team strategies for autonomous vehicles; team
coordination in challenging environments; team competitions;
cooperative/competitive behaviours; cooperative distributed
perception.
