Development of Driving Intelligence Validation Platform (DIVP®) for ADS Safety Assurance

Date and Time: Tuesday, July 19: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Royal C-F

Hideo Inoue

Professor, Director of Advanced Vehicle Research Institute SIP-adus_DIVP consortium leader Kanagawa Institute of Technology (KAIT)

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Safety is critical and essential for ADS realization. In order to realize and spread ADS in the market, it is necessary to have a feasible methodology to assess the safety performance of the vehicle. ADS conduct “recognition”, “judgement” and “operation” continuously on behalf of the human driver. For this reason, sensor performance for recognition is a significant factor for ADS safety. SIP is working to develop a platform to evaluate the safety of ADS in a virtual space. The project is named DIVP® – Driving Intelligence Validation Platform. This project focuses on a precise duplication from real to virtual, and on sensor models’ verification of consistency with real word testing. DIVP® objectives are to define open standard interfaces, to establish a ‘reference platform’ with a reasonable verification level, (especially, for sensor modeling), and to establish the Environment & Sensor pair model-based approach for Validation & Verification reality. The goal and current status of DIVP® activity is explained in this report.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY

Professor Hideo Inoue joined Kanagawa Institute of Technology (KAIT) in 2016. He is working to create an advaned vehicle technologies into CASE era as a chair of Depertment of Vehicle System Engineering. One of his focus is to establish a Validation Platform of Automated Driving systems and ADAS using virtual simulation of verified sensor models. He is now a project leader of DIVP (Driving Intelligence Validation Platform) consorcium of one of the 2nd phase programs of SIP-adus from 2018 till 2020. His additional academic experiences are, “Visiting Professor, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) from 2014 to Present”, and “Project Manager, Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency’s S-innovation Project “Autonomous Driving System to Enhance Safer and Secured Traffic Society for Elderly Drivers” to enhace automotive safety performance from 2011 to 2019.
He graduated in Mechanical Engineering at the Waseda University in 1978. He had been working for Toyota Motor Corporation from 1978 till 2016 as an engineer of vehicle control systems like of vehicle dynamics, active safety, ADAS and made a lot of effort to diffuse them to the market, such as, VSC (ESC), PCS (Pre-Collision Safety system). Since 2004 he was rsponsible for huge integrated vehicle systems of ADAS, integrated safety, energy management, ITS, etc. as an General Manager in Integrate System Engineering Division. He recieved some awards, “The US Government Award for Special Appreciation for contributions to the development and popularization of safety technology, awarded by the National Highway in ESV 2009“.
