Jacques Ehrlich: The Connected Autonomous Vehicle and its Environment, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

Want to cut through the hype and get to the core of autonomous and connected vehicles? Then this book is your clear, accessible guide to a complex and fast-moving field. Starting with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), it walks you through the essential foundations, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) - the stepping stones to full autonomy.

Explore how self-driving cars mimic human behavior through a loop of perception, analysis, decision, and action. Discover the key functions that make it possible: localization, obstacle detection, driver monitoring, cooperative awareness - and the most challenging of all, trajectory planning, across strategic, tactical, and operational levels.

Will vehicles be connected? The debate is on - but the standards are already here. Learn how connectivity, infrastructure, and vehicles can work in synergy through the innovative concept of floating car data (FCD).

Dive into real-world implementation: with embedded electronics account-ing for over 30% of a modern vehicle's cost, we unpack the architecture, coordination, and tools required to manage the complexity - brought to life with a hands-on case study.

To finish, we open the door to the future: building your own 1: 10 scale autonomous vehicle. No plug-and-play solutions - just the foundations for a collaborative, creative, and geek-friendly challenge.

Let's drive the future together.
