Introduction (by Willem-Jan van Grondelle)

First parallel sessions

The future car as an intelligent being (by Stefan Binnemars and Nick Leone)

The Intelligent Car - Presentation as used on the 3rd c,mm,n garage (554 kb)

The c,mm,n as an intelligent car was discussed. A car which made driving more comfortable and safe. Among the techniques discussed where CACC(Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control), LDA(Lane Departure Assistant), and many more. The presentation can be found in the file above. A very lively discussion ensued after the presentation.

The main goals for further development/research(from suggestions from the audience) are:

- Looking at the different levels of autonomy, how many the car will take over in certain situations from the driver.

- Different levels of technology, how far in the future should be looked and what parts should be described in detail within the project. How far should this stay a black box, and how much should be filled in.

- Creating a roadmap of the possibilities: What is already possible? What will be possible in 2020 What techniques were introduced in the past and are common nowadays.

- Psychology: the user experience of driving in a traffic jam, why people nevertheless choose to, and which options do users want in a car(which tasks do they want to be able to perform) when it is controlling itself.

- Trust: testing on the AutoRAI, will users trust a car with a high level of autonomy? Interesting to find out what the users think of this.

- Using the report of Jos Thalen: looking at the KARMA system and possibilities of implementing it.

- Checking the Cevis project, for gathering ideas.

- Clear decisions about autonomic vs helping system, when/where/to what extend will the car be autonomic?

- New/adaptions to current infrastructure(roads) or compatibility with the current roads and cars.

The future car as a social being (by Kim van Renswouw and Mark Visbeek)

The c,mm,n as a social car was discussed. The human-technology interaction as well as the car-to-car interactions contribute to a more social experience of driving. The Smart Social Personal Vehicle (SSPV) system equips several technologies to provide the user with information and choices. Also, flexible carpooling, intelligent navigation and user preference awareness help in the process of creating a safe, comfortable, efficient and sustainable mobility concept.

The discussion at the garage led to several interesting conclusions and points of attention. Sorted by technology, these are:

User Preference Awareness

• It is important not to forget user emotions.
• The User Awareness can be developed even further with more advanced functions.

Intelligent Navigation

• Consider car-infrastructure versus total mobility infrastructure, and take into account combinations with public transport, bicycle, and other transportation methods.
• Navigation information on the driver's phone (SMS)
• Vehicle-to-vehicle communication requires very detailed navigation information to provide collision warnings or car pooling instructions.
• Over the horizon awareness requires seamless vehicle-to-vehicle communication with low latency values.
• The vehicle-to-vehicle system can be used to distribute signals like internet or gprs.

Flexible Carpooling

• Carpooling should run on a centralised system to simplify and accelerate network building and growth.
• Carpooling could be provided as a company-based service, using proximity matching to connect people at the same business area.
• Networks could be combined with or extracted from existing social networking websites and services.
• The personal car versus the public car is an important point of interest for future development. The car could evolve as a social tool instead of a personal property.
• Privacy will remain an important factor, as well as trust in a situation where people who are strangers to eachother end up in the same car.
• Flexible carpooling will have to be promoted using advantages such as price, networking, social thinking and connection to public transport. Is the motivation to use carpooling financial or social?
• How important is face-to-face contact in determining passenger choice?
• Equip this system as a peer-to-peer delivery system; Carpooling with packages instead of passengers.

SSPV System

• Should the SSPV system be integrated in the car, an interchangeable stand-alone device, or a software-only package?

Advanced Cost System

• Combining road pricing with driving behavior.
• Should pricing systems be based on a reward system or a penalizing system?
• Road pricing could be dependent on factors such as environmental impact, danger, flow control, etc.

Energy

• Recharging car batteries versus exchanging them.
• Information exchange about the availability of energy and net load.
• Peak-hours could be variable, with charging times shifting i.e. to the night.
• Car-park can be used to store energy.
• Detailed information engine management (fuel cell)
• Shared charging and vehicle-to-vehicle energy exchange.

Presentation of the University of Twente on the driving simulator (by Arie Paul van den Beukel and Gertjan Tillema)

The presentation presented by Gertjan Tillema can be found here. In the presentation half a C,MM,N is used. Afterwards it is decided to use a complete wire frame.
