BeCAREFUL: Belgian Consortium for Enhanced Safety and Comfort Perception

The goal of this project is to enhance safety and comfort in autonomous driving. Altogether we are developing and advancing different ADAS technologies, i.e. data collection, processing, scenario extraction-generation, algorithms (AI, control), XiL testing (X = model, hardware, human), and validation using several autonomous vehicle platforms.

BeCAREFUL: Belgian Consortium for Enhanced Safety and Comfort Perception

Yesterday and today at Siemens’ office in Leuven, we organized a General Assembly meeting to discuss the progress of an ADAS project involving multiple Belgian companies and institutions.

The below picture shows our ADAS team research engineer - industrial PhD, Flavia Sofia Acerbo, presenting demo on human-like algorithm development and testing with a driving simulator. The driving data is collected, learnt with imitation learning, then the autonomous function is tested again on the platform for subjective evaluation. A lot of interesting challenges, results (and fun).
