The aim of the research project

When controlling automated vehicles, it is essential that the control system has information about the state of the ego-vehicle and its environment.

Introduction

One of the cornerstones of the development of autonomous vehicles nowadays increasingly focused on research is that the vehicle control system is able to plan the path of the vehicle taking into account the static and dynamic objects of the environment. Environmental sensing is based on sensors based on a variety of principles, such as ultrasound, radar, lidar, or machine vision based camera systems.

Introduction

‘Connected’, ‘cooperative’, ‘smart’, ‘intelligent’ and ‘autonomous’ are labels that appear these days in nu­merous scientific pub­li­ca­tions and in many commercial advertisements in conjunction with up-to-date road vehicles.

Vehicle-oriented research has been pursued for many years now at SCL. Its results materialized in various forms ranging from research initiatives and R&D project proposals through conference and journal publications to industrial R&D contracts. However, a comprehensive demonstration of the vehicle-oriented research output has always been problematic within the Institute due to its limited facilities available in respect of this application field.

A closer coupling of wing aeroelasticity and flight control systems in the design process opens new opportunities to explore previously unviable designs. Common methods and tools across the disciplines also provide a way to rapidly adapt existing designs into derivative aircraft, at a reduced technological risk (e.g. using control to solve a flutter problem discovered during development). Flutter Free FLight Envelope eXpansion for ecOnomical Performance improvement (FLEXOP) thus opens a complete new dimension for derivative aircraft design.

The sense and avoid (S&A) capability is crucial for the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is due to the necessity of integrating civilian and governmental UAVs into the common airspace. In a S&A scenario, the ego-UAV is the observer, which  estimates the probability and/or the possibility of collision. Based on this estimation, it initiates an avoidance maneuver, if and when it is required. The probability of collision can be determined  through the estimation of direction and distance of the other aircraft or UAV (called in this context the intruder).
