Governing autonomous vehicles: emerging responses for safety, liability, privacy, cybersecurity, and industry risks
The benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely acknowledged, but there
are concerns about the extent of these benefits and AV risks and unintended
consequences. In this article, we first examine AVs and different categories of
the technological risks associated with them. We then explore strategies that
can be adopted to address these risks, and explore emerging responses by
governments for addressing AV risks. Our analyses reveal that, thus far,
governments have in most instances avoided stringent measures in order to
promote AV developments and the majority of responses are non-binding and focus
on creating councils or working groups to better explore AV implications. The
US has been active in introducing legislations to address issues related to
privacy and cybersecurity. The UK and Germany, in particular, have enacted laws
to address liability issues, other countries mostly acknowledge these issues,
but have yet to implement specific strategies. To address privacy and
cybersecurity risks strategies ranging from introduction or amendment of non-AV
specific legislation to creating working groups have been adopted. Much less
attention has been paid to issues such as environmental and employment risks,
although a few governments have begun programmes to retrain workers who might
be negatively affected.Comment: Transport Reviews, 201
The State-of-the-art of Coordinated Ramp Control with Mixed Traffic Conditions
Ramp metering, a traditional traffic control strategy for conventional
vehicles, has been widely deployed around the world since the 1960s. On the
other hand, the last decade has witnessed significant advances in connected and
automated vehicle (CAV) technology and its great potential for improving
safety, mobility and environmental sustainability. Therefore, a large amount of
research has been conducted on cooperative ramp merging for CAVs only. However,
it is expected that the phase of mixed traffic, namely the coexistence of both
human-driven vehicles and CAVs, would last for a long time. Since there is
little research on the system-wide ramp control with mixed traffic conditions,
the paper aims to close this gap by proposing an innovative system architecture
and reviewing the state-of-the-art studies on the key components of the
proposed system. These components include traffic state estimation, ramp
metering, driving behavior modeling, and coordination of CAVs. All reviewed
literature plot an extensive landscape for the proposed system-wide coordinated
ramp control with mixed traffic conditions.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, IEEE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE

Vision-Based Lane-Changing Behavior Detection Using Deep Residual Neural Network
Accurate lane localization and lane change detection are crucial in advanced
driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems for safer and more
efficient trajectory planning. Conventional localization devices such as Global
Positioning System only provide road-level resolution for car navigation, which
is incompetent to assist in lane-level decision making. The state of art
technique for lane localization is to use Light Detection and Ranging sensors
to correct the global localization error and achieve centimeter-level accuracy,
but the real-time implementation and popularization for LiDAR is still limited
by its computational burden and current cost. As a cost-effective alternative,
vision-based lane change detection has been highly regarded for affordable
autonomous vehicles to support lane-level localization. A deep learning-based
computer vision system is developed to detect the lane change behavior using
the images captured by a front-view camera mounted on the vehicle and data from
the inertial measurement unit for highway driving. Testing results on
real-world driving data have shown that the proposed method is robust with
real-time working ability and could achieve around 87% lane change detection
accuracy. Compared to the average human reaction to visual stimuli, the
proposed computer vision system works 9 times faster, which makes it capable of
helping make life-saving decisions in time
Кибербезопасность в образовательных сетях
The paper discusses the possible impact of digital space on a human, as well as human-related directions in cyber-security analysis in the education: levels of cyber-security, social engineering role in cyber-security of education, “cognitive vaccination”. “A Human” is considered in general meaning, mainly as a learner. The analysis is provided on the basis of experience of hybrid war in Ukraine that have demonstrated the change of the target of military operations from military personnel and critical infrastructure to a human in general. Young people are the vulnerable group that can be the main goal of cognitive operations in long-term perspective, and they are the weakest link of the System.У статті обговорюється можливий вплив цифрового простору на людину, а також пов'язані з людиною напрямки кібербезпеки в освіті: рівні кібербезпеки, роль соціального інжинірингу в кібербезпеці освіти, «когнітивна вакцинація». «Людина» розглядається в загальному значенні, головним чином як та, що навчається. Аналіз надається на основі досвіду гібридної війни в Україні, яка продемонструвала зміну цілей військових операцій з військовослужбовців та критичної інфраструктури на людину загалом. Молодь - це вразлива група, яка може бути основною метою таких операцій в довгостроковій перспективі, і вони є найслабшою ланкою системи.В документе обсуждается возможное влияние цифрового пространства на человека, а также связанные с ним направления в анализе кибербезопасности в образовании: уровни кибербезопасности, роль социальной инженерии в кибербезопасности образования, «когнитивная вакцинация». «Человек» рассматривается в общем смысле, в основном как ученик. Анализ представлен на основе опыта гибридной войны в Украине, которая продемонстрировала изменение цели военных действий с военного персонала и критической инфраструктуры на человека в целом. Молодые люди являются уязвимой группой, которая может быть главной целью когнитивных операций в долгосрочной перспективе, и они являются самым слабым звеном Систем
