Emergency vehicle scenarios in AVSandbox - Claytex Tech Blog - By: Felipe Ferrary, Senior Software Engineer & Saptarshi Mukherjee (Ph.D.), Simulation Engineer Incidents involving autonomous vehicles (AV) and emergency vehicles raise lots of questions on how an AV should behave when they have to deal with those type of traffic vehicles at different situations such as high-speed motorways or low-speed intersections (both with and without traffic lights). Should an AV always give way to an emergency vehicle? Should it make an emergency braking at high speed when approaching a junction at the same time as an emergency vehicle? Should it rush through a red traffic light if blocking an emergency vehicle? These are all decisions that are logical for humans while driving, but not clear enough for AVs yet.

AVSandbox has a built-in list of assets (emergency vehicles and static obstacles) that allow a great variate of edge case scenarios to be created. Using the tools available in AVSandbox tool belt, it is possible to create scenarios using ambulances, police and fire trucks. In addition to the traditional headlights and indicators, emergency vehicles in AVSandbox have additional working lights implemented into the application. These lights can be used to check how your vehicle controller would behave in cases of actual emergency scenarios compared to scenarios where an emergency vehicle is just driving around. #ClaytexTechBlog #AutonomousVehicle #EdgeCases #Scenario #Testing #EmergencyVehicles

🤖 #TechTuesday spotlight: Autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) are #robotic vehicles that can perform all or some aspects of an operation without the need for direct human input. #COGNIMAN intends to use AGVs to carry the robotic arm to perform the deburring task in the GOIMEK | Precision machining use case.

🚗 Setting new standards in autonomous vehicle testing, Plextek played a vital role in Cranfield University's groundbreaking £12 million HumanDrive project, aimed at achieving autonomous, end-to-end vehicle journeys. We provided twelve electronic-scanning radars for their advanced vehicle control system. These radars, in conjunction with AI and ML, enabled vehicles to navigate challenging situations like crowded sidewalks and poor visibility caused by harsh weather conditions. 🌧️ 🔬 Leveraging the data collected by our radar system, we were able to validate the decision-making capabilities of the autonomous vehicle. Paving the way for an impressive 200-mile journey, accomplished entirely without a driver. It signifies a significant breakthrough in the deployment of autonomous vehicles, marking a major milestone for the industry.

🚗💨 Platooning feature in PTV Vissim. The algorithm simulates autonomous vehicles with communication capabilities, showing how they form, drive in, and leave a platoon. 🛣️ The platoons navigate a highway corridor with different road types—Urban, Arterial, and Highway—across several intersections. 🌆🚦 #AutonomousVehicles #PTVVissim #TransportPlanning

🚀 The Road Ahead: Redefining Automotive Safety with Radar 🚀 As we stand on the brink of a new era in automotive technology, FMCW radar is proving to be a game-changer. From ADAS to fully autonomous vehicles, radar applications are central to the quest for improved safety and efficiency on the roads. Why this matters: Enhanced safety for pedestrians and drivers alike is at the forefront. Radar technology allows vehicles to "see" further and react faster, reducing accidents. It's a key component in achieving the vision of zero-emission and collision-free mobility.
