Cooperative Perception for Networked Intelligent Vehicles

The goal of this collaborative research is to improve driver safety and overall traffic fluidity using innovative intelligent vehicle technology.

This project focuses on the development of novel cooperative perception algorithms for intelligent vehicles operating in realistic traffic scenarios. Scientific challenges are concerned with designing an efficient sensory system, as well as designing perception and sensor fusion algorithms that involve V2X communication. In terms of algorithmic validation, we will work both with real vehicles, provided by PSA Peugeot-Citroën, and simulation tools at various abstraction levels.

This project was featured in the EPFL news.
