Abstract Automated Driving Systems (ADS) open up a new domain for the automotive
industry and offer new possibilities for future transportation with higher efficiency and …

In the context of an increasing interest toward reducing the number of traffic accidents and of
associated victims, communication-based vehicle safety applications have emerged as one …

Lidar sensors are often used in mobile robots and autonomous vehicles to complement
camera, radar and ultrasonic sensors for environment perception. Typically, perception …

Autonomous driving at level five does not only means self-driving in the sunshine. Adverse
weather is especially critical because fog, rain, and snow degrade the perception of the …

We present and discuss the case for full waveform pixel and image acquisition and
processing to enable LiDAR sensors to penetrate and reconstruct 3D surface maps through …

Perception sensors such as camera, radar, and lidar have gained considerable popularity in
the automotive industry in recent years. In order to reach the next step towards automated …

We experimentally demonstrate a free-space data transmission system in an indoor
simulated smoke chamber with a laser carrier of an erbium-doped actively mode-locked …

Since more and more vehicles are using the transportation infrastructure, the safety and the
efficiency of roads are of absolute importance. A solution to enhance the security of road …

Fog has a strong attenuation effect on the optical channel, which will greatly degrade the
performance of visible light communication (VLC). Studying the effect of the fog on …

We propose a new approach for high-fidelity free-space optical data transmission through
dynamic smoke using a series of 2D arrays of random numbers as information carriers. Data …
