Details of Session:

 

Autonomous driving represents a revolutionary shift, promising safer roads, and enhanced mobility in transportation. Consider, for instance, an autonomous vehicle navigating through urban traffic while avoiding other agents such as human-driven vehicles, and pedestrians. These scenarios pose critical safety challenges due to the unpredictability of these agents' intentions and behaviors, necessitating the estimation and integration of their a-priori unknown trajectories into the planning algorithm. Conventional approaches involve using historical trajectories to train a deep network, which is then incorporated into the path-planning process. Advancements in deep learning networks, statistical methods for quantifying uncertain prediction results, and engineering applications for the safe path-planning and control of autonomous driving are equally welcomed in this Special Session.
The session invites original papers of innovative ideas and concepts, new discoveries and improvements, and novel applications relevant to the following selected topics of "Safe Planning and Control for Autonomous Driving Using Artificial Intelligence Technology".

* Deep learning for trajectory prediction
* Quantified representation for uncertain prediction results
* Recognition and classification of human driver behaviors
* Safe and robust control of autonomous driving
* Cooperative control between autonomous vehicles and human-driven vehicles
* Machine learning methods for autonomous path-planning
* Modeling and advanced simulation of autonomous driving
* Engineering examples and applications
