IV 2000
IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Dearborn, MI, USA
October 4-5, 2000
The IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Council (ITSC) is sponsoring a
professional-level conference on basic research and present and future
applications for Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Infrastructures.
Papers dealing with vehicle-centered intelligent systems are solicited.
This symposium is characterized by a single session format so that all the
attendees remain in a single room for multilateral communications in an
informal atmosphere. As another tradition, the meetings have enthusiastic
participation from industry, as well as research centers and universities.
The IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be
held at the same location on Oct. 2-3, 2000, and a single -reduced rate-
registration option will be available for both Conferences, as well as
individual registrations.
* TOPICS
Driver Assistance Systems System Architectures Sensors
Navigation/Guidance Systems Imaging and Vision Enhancement Vehicle Control
Information Systems Human-machine Interfaces Active Safety
Traffic Monitoring and Control Communications and Networks CAN
* PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit a paper in electronic form
(Postscript) by March 1st, 2000 for peer review, following the submission
guidelines available at http://www.ce.unipr.it/iv2000.
Submitted papers must be no longer than six (6) pages in IEEE two-column
format, including figures and references. Papers exceeding this length
limit may be rejected without review. The first page should include (1) the
title of the paper, (2) the names of the authors, (3) the technical
categories, and (4) the name, mailing address, telephone and fax number,
and e-mail address of the contact author. Same papers may not be submitted
to both IV and ITSC conferences.
* SPECIAL SESSIONS
Military Applications and Current Research
Theme:
This session will provide an opportunity to explore research and
development activities for autonomous and semi-autonomous ground vehicle
systems. It examines the technology requirements and operational
capabilities of robotic vehicle programs for military, and commercial
applications. The session brings together technologists to discuss
needs, opportunities and approaches for adapting commercial automotive
intelligent systems to meet military off-road autonomous applications.
The conference provides a unique opportunity to identify commercial
research projects and leverage the results to meet crucial military
requirements.
Topics:
Government and Commercial programs: technical and performance challenges,
system performance, test results, lessons learned; Machine perception for
navigation and mission execution; Vehicle mobility and motion control;
Operator interface and human-robot interactions.
Organizer:
Bruce Brendle
U.S. Army Tank-automotive & Armaments Command

Autonomous Driving on Extreme Courses
Theme:
This session is concerned with research and advanced development for
autonomous vehicle guidance in extreme driving environment. Coping with
such conditions is a prerequisite for the introduction of advanced driver
assistance functions. Hence, a discussion of the requirements and
approaches to meet with these challenging conditions is expected to
enhance insight into future developments, reveal missing links between
current research and realization and provide impetus for new activities.
The session will gather experts from various disciplines to shed light on
the topic from different views.
Topics:
System architecture, Multisensor systems, Advanced vehicle control,
Driving strategy formation, Self-assessment, Reliability and Safety,
Driving robot.
Organizer:
Christoph Stiller
Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany

User Interfaces for On-Board Systems
Theme:
This session will focus on user interfaces issues in vehicle-centered
intelligent systems and will feature experiences from the usability
engineering perspective. Issues include, for instance, feedback,
integration, synchronization, context, and how to make the most value
from devices within vehicles: many of these are also issues for
stand-alone systems, but mobility adds extra problems and opportunities.
Those attending the session will be able to learn from and establish
contacts with researchers who are innovators in developing human-computer
interfaces.
Topics:
Feedback, Feedthrough, Integration, Synchronization, Context,
Multimodality, Design, Prototyping, Evaluation, Empirical studies.
