TEAM
Teammate Driving is a team that aims to develop safer and more secure vehicle maneuver applications for mass production vehicles. In advanced driving assistance systems such as autonomous driving, the ego-velocity and path planning technology is highly required so that the driving trajectory on public roads should be calculated efficiently and smoothly. Our driving planning engineers have been developing optimized velocity and path planning algorithms so as to emulate a skilled driver based on the surrounding environment and obstacles information acquired from the autonomous sensors and road information from a map for driving assistance.
Teammate Driving は、市販車向けに、より安全で安心な車両制御アプリケーションの開発を目的とするチームです。自動運転などの高度な運転支援システムでは、公道での走行軌道を効率的かつスムーズに計算するための速度・パス(経路・軌道)プランニング技術が強く求められています。私たちの走行プランニングエンジニアは、自律センサから取得した周囲の環境や障害物の情報、運転支援用地図からの走路情報に基づいて、まるで熟練したドライバのような最適化された速度・パスプランニングアルゴリズムを開発しています。
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Strong interest in developing the optimized ego-velocity, driving planning and decision-making technology for the autonomous driving system or advanced driving assistance system. The specific areas are as follows:
・Longitudinal vehicle dynamics control, such as acceleration and de-acceleration
・Velocity management is based on the acquired data by sensors (e.g. camera, radar) and lane information from a map for driving assistance
・Vehicle motion control to avoid collisions with other traffic participants
・Virtual development and validation with closed-simulation models
・Optimal velocity and driving planning algorithms subject to environmental, perceptual capabilities, a map for driving assistance and actuation constraints
・Development and building simulation environments and evaluation tools, creating evaluation scenarios, and evaluating functions using these environments and tools
自動運転システムまたは運転支援システムにおける最適速度演算、走行プランニング、デシジョンメイキング技術に強く興味がある。詳細な要件は以下の通り。
・加速、減速のような縦方向車両運動制御
・自律センサによる取得データと運転支援用地図から計算された道路形状情報に基づくスピードマネジメント
・他の交通参加者との衝突を回避するための車両運動制御
・クローズドシミュレーションモデルを使った開発と検証
・周辺環境、センサ認識能力、運転支援用地図、およびアクチュエータの制約に基づいて最適な速度および走行プランニングアルゴリズム
・シミュレーション環境や評価ツールの構築、評価シナリオの作成、およびこれらを使った機能評価
All interviews will be arranged via Google Meet, unless otherwise stated.
