Expanding the commercial use of electric vehicles is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality in automobile transportation.
This study conducted questionnaire surveys targeting two groups: general freight transport companies and those already using electric vehicles, to compare their perceptions of electric vehicles and usage practices.
The findings identified external factors, such as market and technological barriers, that could impede the broader adoption of commercial electric vehicles.

Path following for low speed vehicles (3rd report)

Saoto Tsuchiya･Kirill Peljuh (FUTU-RE)

We consider how to determine turning paths and acceleration/deceleration to optimize ride comfort for automated low-speed vehicles. To optimize ride comfort, we aim to minimize the change in inertial force during turns, and in the second report we derived ordinary differential equations to achieve this.
In this report, we propose a practical optimal path and speed profile by solving the ordinary differential equations under realistic conditions.

Occupant behavior and subjective evaluation during acceleration and deceleration in electric light and low-speed vehicle (LLV)

Electric light and low-speed vehicles (LLV) are widely used for green slow mobility. We measured and subjectively evaluated occupant behavior during acceleration and deceleration using LLV. As a result, we found that occupant behavior differs greatly from individual to individual. From the occupant behavior and subjective evaluation, we were able to determine the thresholds of acceleration and deceleration that should be considered when driving with LLV.

Development of a Container-Based Yocto Build System for an Infotainment SW Platform

Joonhyung Kim (Hyundai Motor)

This paper introduces a Yocto build system configured on a container for building an infotainment SW platform. The introduction raises the issue of directly configuring host environments for various platforms and versions and presents existing approaches to building Yocto on a container and their limitations. The background section briefly introduces the key concepts of Yocto Project and container technology. The main section details the techniques applied to the build system, including a layered structure using base images, managing authentication for accessing private repositories, and connecting Yocto development environments to external resources, as well as a tool for supporting build system.
