Research subject name: Measuring the “sensitivity” of semi-autonomous vehicle crew members and pedestrians and analyzing interdependent behavior
About self-driving bus running experiment
Hiroshima University and Chodai Co., Ltd., in cooperation with the ITS Service Advancement Organization, will run self-driving cars on public roads (expressways) in the Kinki region for five days from September 21 to September 27, 2023. We will conduct a demonstration experiment. In conjunction with this, the Hiroshima University Traffic Engineering Laboratory will measure the psychological load on autonomous vehicle drivers using electroencephalograms and other equipment. Measured data will be used only for research purposes and will not be leaked to outside parties.
In addition, this self-driving car is equipped with various sensors such as GPS and driving recorders, but the image data that can be used to identify individuals is GPS data that shows the location and time of events such as sudden deceleration or lane changes. After verification, all information will be encrypted and immediately destroyed. Personal information from nearby vehicles is never used for analysis or stored.
If you have any questions, please contact us below.
