To ensure passenger safety, contemporary vehicle designs require robust systems of in-cabin child presence detection (CPD) that adhere to stringent standards or regulatory requirements. These systems are expected to accurately classify children, adults, and nonhuman objects with 100% accuracy and zero false alarms in less than 10 seconds. Challenges have persisted for years to … [Read more...] about Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Millimeter-Wave Radar for Vehicular In-Cabin Sensing: Child Presence Detection and Beyond

Control Layer Security: A New Security Paradigm for Cooperative Autonomous Systems
Autonomous systems (ASs) often cooperate to ensure safe navigation. Embedded within the centralized or distributed coordination mechanisms are a set of observations, unobservable states, and control variables. Security of data transfer between ASs is crucial for safety, and both cryptography and physical layer security (PLS) methods have been used to secure communication … [Read more...] about Control Layer Security: A New Security Paradigm for Cooperative Autonomous Systems
V2X Communications for Maneuver Coordination in Connected Automated Driving
Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) can use vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications to exchange their driving intentions and coordinate their maneuvers. Message generation rules are necessary to decide when and how maneuver coordination messages (MCMs) should be generated. The design of these generation rules must consider the critical nature of maneuver coordination and the … [Read more...] about V2X Communications for Maneuver Coordination in Connected Automated Driving
Toward Intelligent Connected E-Mobility: Energy-Aware Cooperative Driving With Deep Multiagent Reinforcement Learning
In recent years, electrified mobility (e-mobility), especially connected and autonomous electric vehicles (CAEVs), has been gaining momentum along with the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things. The social benefits of CAEVs are manifested in the form of safer transportation, lower energy consumption, and reduced … [Read more...] about Toward Intelligent Connected E-Mobility: Energy-Aware Cooperative Driving With Deep Multiagent Reinforcement Learning
Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundancy-Based Joint Safety and Security for Connected Automated Vehicles: Preliminary Simulation and Field Test Results
For connected automated vehicles (CAVs), safety and security are two interrelated critical issues since many in-vehicle components are both safety critical and security critical. To achieve both safety and security in the presence of functional failures or cyberattacks, this article proposes a dynamic heterogeneous redundancy (DHR) scheme for CAVs. The basic idea is that each … [Read more...] about Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundancy-Based Joint Safety and Security for Connected Automated Vehicles: Preliminary Simulation and Field Test Results
