Research Project Regarding Autonomous Driving in the UK Named ServCity
-Lane Level Route Planning for Smooth Driving Based on Parked Car Detection by Infrastructure Cameras-

Yuka Yoshimatsu･Yuya Niwa･Narihiro Akari (Nissan Motor)

A car needs to make lane change to avoid parked cars at dense environment without delaying for autonomous driving at urban arterial road. This research propose method for deciding lane change point to avoid parking cars smoothly, assuming congested area based on parked cars detected by infrastructure cameras and quantifying lane change difficulty.

ODD and Ethics

Masao Ito (NIL)

The Operational Design Domain (ODD) definition for autonomous vehicles is the basis for confirming safety. In recent years, standards such as ISO 34503 have been streamlining the description of ODD. However, there is still room for the writer's discretion in the boundaries of the ODD. Furthermore, even within the ODD, there needs to be more discussion regarding ethical appropriateness, which we will organize.

Discussion of Operational Design Domain for Implementation of Co-operative Automated Driving in Mixed Traffic Environment on Public Roads

Keisuke Shimono (The University of Tokyo)･Yasuhiro Akagi (Nagoya University)･Makoto Morita･Shuichi Matsumoto･Masaya Segawa (Advanced Smart Mobility)･Mitsuaki Hagino (The University of Tokyo)･Shinji Akatsu･Hiroshi Tanigawa (JARI)･Masahiko Kato (AIST)･Kimihiko Nakano･Yoshihiro Suda (The University of Tokyo)

For the social implementation of automatic driving, mixed traffic conditions are also expected to be targeted. Since the feasibility of automated driving depends on the ODD setting and its explainability, the study process is also important. In this presentation, we will introduce the process of study toward the definition of ODD for automatic driving with the example of the Kashiwa-no-ha area where one of model area for the co-operative level 4 automated driving system implementation project.

Self-signal (Device for Deterring Traffic Jam)
-The Concrete Plan for Deterring Traffic Jam and the Verification Method for it-

Hideaki Oku (O.K. Tech. Lab.)

First the main case of traffic jam will be revealed. And next the demonstration method will be suggested that frequently jammed 2 points in close proximity on highway are focused and traffic jam of one side will be disappear, where applied the method of deterring traffic jam. The construction and function of the device for deterring traffic jam will be suggested. We can enjoy many benefits like improvement of logistics and so on.

Survey on the Regulations Critical for the Simulation of Unified Energy and Fleet Management in the Full-scale Diffusion of Commercial Electric Vehicles

Shota Miyoshi･Ichiro Sakamoto･Tomonori Hasegawa (NALTEC)

This paper presents a survey of regulations that may constrain the fleet and energy management of commercial electric vehicles. The survey intends for the development a simulation system for the optimization of society in the full-scale diffusion of commercial electric vehicles. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the influencing regulations and the detailed restrictions by Act on Rationalizing Energy Use, Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures, Labor Standards Act, and Act on the Protection of Personal Information as the first results of the survey.
