Development of a Validation Regime for an Autonomous Campus ShuttleM. Ilhan Akbas
The autonomous vehicles need to be validated with a
reliable and repeatable methodology to be accepted by the public.
In this paper, we present our methodology to develop a validation
regime for the decision making system of an autonomous vehicle
operating in a certain road network. The methodology starts with
the thorough analysis of the selected roads. Then these roads are
divided into atomic units, each of which is unique for testing
purposes. The atomic units are modeled in simulation using our
existing scenario generation framework, which allows for the
stress testing and edge scenario discovery. Then the decision
making software of the vehicle under test is taken in the loop to
execute the tests. The methodology is applied to the autonomous
campus shuttle currently operating at the Tallinn University of
Technology campus. The shuttle’s route is analyzed and modeled
in simulation to create the testing scenarios. The methodology
will be a complete validation scheme as the shuttle is tested in
the field with a variety of the corner test cases discovered by our
methodology.

This presentation describes the study and its application to the state of North Dakota. The study method included a statewide survey of transit agencies, a comparison of current levels of service to benchmark values, the calculation of a mobility needs index, and the estimation of service and funding needs under different scenarios.
Gravel Roads - The Economic Backbone of the StateUGPTI
The Gravel Roads presentation helps local leaders understand aspects of gravel roads. A review of roadway shape, aggregate gradation, clay binder, roadway problems/solutions provides a solid foundation of knowledge for anyone wanting to understand how to improve gravel roadways. Clay binder is a focal point for the technology transfer. To insure that a quality gravel is purchased, a gravel needs to be specified and tested for gradation and PI. PI, plasticity index, is the engineering property that defines the amount of clay in the fine portion of the gravel material. Clay is the binder that holds gravel rock and fines together, much like cement in concrete. Gravel produced without clay will result in roadway sections that yield excessive dust, wash-boarding and float; items that result in increased life cycle costs and reduced safety levels. Contact NDLTAP if your group can benefit from quality gravel roads. NDLTAP is offering the presentation to local leaders across the state.
This presentation for the Commercial Vehicle Safety Research Summit included information regarding disseminating research results through the Transportation Research Board and its committees.
