Automated vehicles are expected to substitute driver-pedestrian communication via LED
strips or displays. This communication is expected to improve trust and the crossing process …

Localisation and navigation of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in static environments are now
solved problems, but how to control their interactions with other road users in mixed traffic …

Recent years have witnessed the rapid deployment of robotic systems in public places such
as roads, pavements, workplaces and care homes. Robot navigation in environments with …

Recent evidence suggests that the assumed conflict-avoidant programming of autonomous
vehicles will incentivize pedestrians to bully them. However, this frequent argument …

OpenPodcar is a low-cost, open source hardware and software, autonomous vehicle
research platform based on an off-the-shelf, hard-canopy, mobility scooter donor vehicle …

This paper presents a white-box intention-aware decision-making for the handling of
interactions between a pedestrian and an automated vehicle (AV) in an unsignalized street …

Uncontrolled intersections, as a typical urban traffic environment, are challenging scenarios
for autonomous driving due to the potential conflicts and lack of co-ordination between traffic …

Simulation of pedestrians in shared spaces poses a significant challenge in autonomous
driving virtual testing. The simulation pedestrian model can respond to autonomous vehicle …

To navigate in human social spaces, self-driving cars and other robots must show social
intelligence. This involves predicting and planning around pedestrians, understanding their …

In the urban environment, terrains such as a “traffic island” are present for the convenience
and safety of pedestrians. However, such terrains cause decision errors in the autonomous …
