Programme
09:00-10:00 - Startup and registration
Registration begins with coffee and a breakfast sandwich.
10:00-10:10 - Welcome
Anna Dubois, Director of Chalmers Area of Advance Transport.
10:10-12:30 - Autonomous Transport Solutions
Moderator: Anna Nilsson-Ehle
Key note - "Autonomous vehicles - the key to a safe, sustainable transport system?"
Professor Chris Gerdes, Stanford University
Professor Gerdes' research centers on the application of dynamic modeling to problems in nonlinear control, estimation and diagnostics. Specific areas of interest include the development of driver assistance systems for lane keeping and collision avoidance, modeling and control of novel combustion processes for Internal Combustion engines and diagnostics for automotive drive-by-wire systems. Prior to joining Stanford, Professor Gerdes was the project leader for vehicle dynamics at the Vehicle Systems Technology Center of Daimler-Benz Research and Technology North America. His work at Daimler focused on safety analysis and simulation-based design of heavy trucks for the Freightliner Corporation.
Projects in collaboration: Stepping stones to the fully automated transport system
Suzanne Andersson (Göteborg stad), Eric Coelingh (Volvo Cars), Christian Grante (Volvo), Susanne Planath (Swedish Transport Administration), and Pether Janevik (AstaZero) will present initiatives such as the DriveMe-project and AstaZero proving ground and discuss the implementation challenges for automated vehicles.
Researchers' perspectives on the road to autonomous vehicles in a safe, sustainable transport system
Professor Jonas Sjöberg, Chalmers, will chair presentations from a broad field of research areas at Chalmers and KTH and lead the discussion on research challenges in the introduction of autonomous vehicles. Participants: Professor Jonas Sjöberg (Chalmers), Professor Erik Ström (Chalmers), associate Professor Marina Papatriantafilou (Chalmers), Assistant Professor Christian Berger (Chalmers), Assistant Professor Nicole Kringos (KTH), and associate Professor Mathias Lidberg (Chalmers).
