Bilateral Grants with Industry

Renault (2015 - 2018)

Participants : Mathieu Barbier, Christian Laugier, Olivier Simonin.

This contract was linked to the PhD Thesis of Mathieu Barbier (Cifre Thesis). The objective is to develop technologies for collaborative driving as part of a Driving Assistance Systems for improving car safety in road intersections. Both vehicle perception and communications are considered in the scope of this study. Some additional short-term contracts (about 3 months) and an evaluation license for the team CMCDOT software have also been signed during this period. We are on the process of signing a new PhD research agreement for the period 2019 – 2021, with objective to address the open problem of emergency obstacle avoidance in complex traffic situations (for ADAS or AD applications).

IRT Nanoelec – Security of Autonomous Vehicles project (2018 - 2020)

Participants : Christian Laugier, Lukas Rummelhard, Jerome Lussereau, Jean-Alix David, Thomas Genevois, Nicolas Turro [SED] .

Security of Autonomous Vehicles is a project supported by ANR in the scope of the program PULSE of IRT Nanoelec. The objective of this project is to integrate, develop and promote technological bricks of context capture, for the safety of the autonomous vehicle. Building on Embedded Bayesian Perception for Dynamic Environment, Bayesian data fusion and filtering technologies from sets of heterogeneous sensors, these bricks make it possible to secure the movements of vehicles, but also provide them with an enriched and useful representation for autonomy functions themselves. In this context, various demonstrators embedding those technology bricks are developed in cooperation with industrial partners.
