Warning Notification of Potential Collisions for Comfort Intelligence on Autonomous Vehicles

Previous studies about autonomous vehicles only focus on safety and efficiency, however, it is also necessary to consider passenger comforts inside autonomous vehicles including autonomous wheelchairs in order to use by a widespread in the society. Therefore, in this research, we emphasize an importance of considering passenger comforts in designing a real autonomous navigation for a concept of comfort intelligence (CI) in future autonomous society. There are many different factors that reduce passenger anxiety relates to comforts in autonomous scenarios. For example, passengers on autonomous vehicles often feel stress by potential collisions around blind intersections due to lack of information. In contrast to the previous method that controls the velocity of vehicles based on the passenger’s visibility, this paper proposes another reduction method by showing information. In this research, we …
