Future urban transportation concepts include a mixture of ground and air vehicles with varying degrees of autonomy in a congested environment. In such dynamic environments, occupancy maps alone are not sufficient for safe path planning.…
It is common to advise against using 3D to visualize abstract data such as networks, however Ware and Mitchell's 2008 study showed that path tracing in a network is less error prone in 3D than in 2D. It is unclear, however, if 3D retains…
Effective driving style analysis is critical to developing human-centered intelligent driving systems that consider drivers' preferences. However, the approaches and conclusions of most related studies are diverse and inconsistent because…
