Time-Series Metrics of Safety

Date and Time: Wednesday, July 20: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Terrace

Director of Engineering & Modeling Research, National Advanced Driving Simulator

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Among the various metrics of safe performance in automated driving systems, some may be computed from time series data. These include such metrics as time to collision (TTC), time to lane crossing (TLC), post-encroachment time, and others. They provide a slightly different viewpoint into safety than do metrics based around safety envelopes.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY

Chris Schwarz received the B.S. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1990 and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Iowa in 1998, both in electrical and computer engineering.
From 1998 to present day, he has been a research engineer at the National Advanced Driving Simulator at the University of Iowa and is currently the Director of Engineering & Modeling Research. His research has involved all types of advanced driver assistance systems, connected vehicles, warning systems, automated vehicles, and driver impairment modeling. Dr. Schwarz’ current research interests include vehicle automation and distributed simulation.
Dr. Schwarz is a member of SAE and a senior member of IEEE. He serves on the SAE on-road autonomous driving (ORAD) simulation task force.
