USING ITS TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPROVE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI) has undertaken a program that will allow researchers to investigate the development and commercialization of both vehicle autonomy as well as vehicle based telemetry systems used to improve safety and the movement of vehicles along the highway. The focus of the research program is to integrate existing, commercially available sensors, software and algorithms into an autonomous vehicle. Over the last several years, significant work has been performed in the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) challenge program in the area of Autonomous Ground Vehicles (AGVs) and this program is striving to exploit what has been done as well as adding innovative ideas to advance the state-of-the-art.
