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 brendleb@tacom.army.mil 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 christoph.stiller@de.bosch.com 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.
