IASF-2017 "INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS" (A BRIEF REVIEW)

Abstract

On October 18-19, 2017, the next International Automobile Scientific Forum (IASF-2017) “Intelligent Transport Systems” was held at the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute” (FSUE “NAMI”). The forum was participated by the representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ministry of Transport of Russia, specialists of foreign and Russian automakers, leading scientists from Russia, Belarus, Georgia as well as young scientists, postgraduates and students. The main areas of the scientific forum discussion were: the development tendencies of autonomous (unmanned) vehicles; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) of new generation; communication systems for vehicles, infrastructure and people; technical vision and navigation systems of autonomous vehicles; systems for modeling traffic and driving conditions; testing and certification of autonomous vehicles; development of the legal base of the autonomous traffic; cyber-security of autonomous driving systems; social and economic problems of the autonomous vehicles introduction. As part of the forum, an agreement was signed between the Association of Automotive Engineers (AAE) of Russia and the Association of Transport Engineers (ATE) of Russia, which should give an additional impulse to coordination of efforts to create autonomous (unmanned) vehicles and related infrastructure. The forum participants could familiarize themselves with the exhibits of the domestic research and development in the field of autonomous vehicles and their components. The following were presented: an unmanned electric bus “SHATL”; an unmanned vehicle on electric traction; the electronic control systems and auto components of an intelligent transport system; “Unmanned KAMAZ”; an unmanned bus on the basis of a light electrical platform; a wireframe autobus of new-generation, the technical characteristics of which fully met the “Affordable Environment” Program requirements; and “An open automobile platform for testing the autonomous vehicles technologies”.
