The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has received support from the Smart Traffic Fund for an innovative research that aims to enhance the safety performance of autonomous vehicles, enabling a more reliable autonomous driving experience.
Led by Dr JIANG Yiping, Assistant Professor of the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering at PolyU, the project titled “A Study of Integrating Adaptive Safety Requirements into Localisation for Autonomous Driving in Hong Kong” has secured funding of approximately HK$1.68 million with a duration of 24 months.
The project aims to develop a configurable platform with machine learning algorithms that enable autonomous driving systems adhering to the adaptive safety requirements against various traffic scenarios and turning radius of vehicles to enhance the safety performance of autonomous vehicles.
PolyU has long been committed to the research and application of vehicle-related innovation and technology, with a total of 19 projects receiving grants from the Smart Traffic Fund to date.
