Abstract
Arvind’s talk will give an overview of various projects related to autonomous vehicles that are being undertaken in Nanyang Technological University (NTU). These projects are supported by and in collaboration with several partners from across the globe including the Government of Singapore, local companies in Singapore such as SMRT and JTC, and multi-national companies such as Volvo, BlueSolutions, BMW, 2getthere and Navya.
A wide range of technologies are being deployed in NTU through these projects including flash charging, first/last mile connectivity solutions, autonomous vehicles and testing infrastructure for their evaluation and certification.
Arvind will also talk us through some of the key technical challenges that arise in building safety assurance cases for these next generation transport solutions, particularly autonomous vehicles. For example, what are the challenges in the safety certification of a machine learning based collision avoidance system in an autonomous vehicle?
Through several motivating examples, he will present some of these technical challenges that are at the forefront of research and innovation in this domain.
