Infrastructure-based digital maps for connected autonomous vehicles

Infrastructure-based digital maps for connected autonomous vehicles AbstractOne major key to autonomous driving is reliable knowledge about the vehicle's surroundings. In complex situations likeurban intersections, the vehicle's on-board sensors are often unable to detect and classify all features of theenvironment. Therefore, high-precision digital maps are widely used to provide the vehicle with additional information. Inthis article, we introduce a system which makes use of a mobile edge computing architecture (MEC) for computing digitalmaps on infrastructure-based, distributed computers. In cooperation with the mobile network operator Vodafone an LTE testfield is implemented at the Aldenhoven Testing Center (ATC). The proving ground thus combines an urban crossing with theMEC capabilities of the LTE test field so that the developed methods can be tested in a realistic scenario. In the nearfuture the LTE test field will be equipped with the new 5G mobile standard allowing for fast and reliable exchange of mapand sensor data between vehicles and infrastructure. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png at - Automatisierungstechnik de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractOne major key to autonomous driving is reliable knowledge about the vehicle's surroundings. In complex situations likeurban intersections, the vehicle's on-board sensors are often unable to detect and classify all features of theenvironment. Therefore, high-precision digital maps are widely used to provide the vehicle with additional information. Inthis article, we introduce a system which makes use of a mobile edge computing architecture (MEC) for computing digitalmaps on infrastructure-based, distributed computers. In cooperation with the mobile network operator Vodafone an LTE testfield is implemented at the Aldenhoven Testing Center (ATC). The proving ground thus combines an urban crossing with theMEC capabilities of the LTE test field so that the developed methods can be tested in a realistic scenario. In the nearfuture the LTE test field will be equipped with the new 5G mobile standard allowing for fast and reliable exchange of mapand sensor data between vehicles and infrastructure.
