In the Passenger Seat of an Autonomous Car with Mr. Elbanhawi and Dr. Olaverri-Monreal

We have prepared a super interesting brand new episode. Are you one of the kind scared to death with the mere idea of being transported in a self-driven car? Would you pay to enjoy a ride at Google’s or any other autonomous vehicle prototype, or would you pay to avoid it?

Today we will talk about that! In this episode’s centre ring we have Dr. Cristina Olaverri-Monreal conducting a fantastic interview about how will it be like being a passenger in an autonomous vehicle. Her interviewee, Mohamed Elbanhawi, PhD Candidate at RMIT University down under, and leading author of a recent IEEE ITS Magazine paper titled “In the Passenger Seat: Investigating Ride Comfort Measures in Autonomous Cars”

Additionally, Mehran Shirazi have developed again, as brilliantly as usual, a very interesting Transportation in History mini-section, this time about how warfare have had a clear impact on the development of many transportation systems. Don’t miss it!

But that’s not all of it. We also have a super interesting news mini-section by Dr. Maryam Kaveshgar on autonomous trucks and the revolution in goods transport they can bring along.

And all of this just for our very special listeners, our unique community of transportation fans we care about so much. Let’s start! We hope you enjoy!

ITS Podcast Episode 26

This is a special issue about the just wrapping up IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Society ITSS. We have prepared a selection of contents with some of the big names involved. As the main course we have interviewed professor Bart van Arem, from Delft University of Technology, who was keynote at that event. We talked about his lecture, titled “Automated Driving: the future of Transport starts today!”

We also have some on-site comments from Prof. Kyongsu Yi (Seoul National Univ., Korea), General co-chair and Prof. Chung Choo Chung (Hanyang Univ., Korea), Program co-chair.

Finally we have our usual columns, the News Minisection by Dr. Maryam Kaveshgar and the Transportation in History Minisection by Mehran Shirazi.

ITS Podcast Episode 27

Cooperative Perception and Autonomous Vehicles

After this little holidays break, we are back with a brand new episode for your ears, for our precious and selected audience.

Today, in the central ring we have professor Rosaldo Rossetti interviewing Dr. Seong-Woo Kim, from Seoul National University, talking about his recent paper at the ITS Magazine entitled “The Impact of Cooperative Perception on Decision Making and Planning of Autonomous Vehicles”. They talked about very hot topics in our field.

Additionally we do have a special issue of the Transportation in History by our brilliant new volunteer Dr. Haluk Eren. Don’t miss it!

We also have a very interesting new minisection by Dr. Maryam Kaveshgar about how a couple of guys recently hacked a Jeep Cherokee. If you are into ITS communication systems, connected vehicles, etc., you cannot miss this one.

For those willing to jump straight to the Prof. Seon g -Woo Kim’s interview, it starts at 10′:08″.

ITS Podcast Episode 28

Special Issue on IEEE ITSC 2015

This is a special episode of the ITS Podcast about the just finished 18th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, that was held in the Canary Islands from Sep. 15 to 18, 2015 (http://www.itsc2015.org). We have put together some nice contents for our unique audience.

We have included nothing less than one of the keynotes delivered at the event. In particular, we have Professor Hermann Winner’s, from Darmstadt technical University in Germany. His keynote was really interesting. If you want to see it, please, check out the Youtube channel of the conference in this podcast post at itsp.cicei.com.

The title of his talk was “How to Address the Approval Trap for Autonomous Vehicles – A survey of the challenge on safety validation and releasing the autonomous vehicle”

We also have some comments from Prof. Matthew Barth, president of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, and Miguel Angel Sotelo, Program Chair of the event.

For those willing to jump straight to the Prof. Winner’s keynote, it starts at 8′:06″.

ITS Podcast Episode 29

ITS Podcast is a publication of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society aiming to take the ITS research and best practice to the general public in an attractive format. The goal is to offer insightful and entertaining monthly interviews with the leaders in ITS.

We will introduce to anyone interested in intelligent transportation and related scientific discoveries the cutting-edge of ITS research by interviewing authors of selected papers in the ITS Transactions and the Magazine, keynote speakers at the ITS conferences, and other top ITS scientists or engineers working on hot new topics.

Every podcast episode will be enriched with a short section with some news relevant for our listeners, and a short “Transportation in History” section where we can learn about amazing developments made in transportation in the past.

ITS Podcast aims to help ITS scientists and engineers, students mulling their career choices, and the general public interested in science and technology.

We welcome suggestions (format, potential interviewees) from our audience. Please email your suggestions to javier.sanchez.medina AT ieee.org.
