‍23rd World Congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems（第二十三世界智能交通系统大会）

Grand Challenge:

Lane Level Localization on a 3D Map

Oct 10th – 14th, 2016, Melbourne, Australia

Call for Participation‍

The 23rd Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) World Congress will be held in Melbourne, Australia, Oct 10th to 14th, 2016, under the banner of “ITS – Enhancing Liveable Cities and Communities”. In advance of the event itself, the Congress calls universities world-wide to this University Grand Challenge, an opportunity to showcase contributions of academic research to one identified challenge in Intelligent Transportation Systems: Lane level localization on a 3D map. The best contributions to the University Grand Challenge will have an opportunity to present their solutions at the 23rd ITS World Congress.

One of the biggest challenges of automated driving is to accurately determine the location of a vehicle relative to the roadway. Equipped with GPS, in-vehicle sensors (cameras), and a highly accurate 3D map, an automated driving system must be reliable, even under harsh conditions, due to GPS denial or imprecision, in-vehicle sensor malfunction, heavy occlusions, poor lighting, and inclement weather. Lane level localization on a 3D map allows the vehicle to function reliably in such conditions.

To advance the technology and enable safer and more reliable automated driving, we present a grand challenge to localize a driving vehicle on a 3D map using the vehicle’s GPS data and in-vehicle camera sensor data in real time.

Awards

The participants passing the assessment will be given the opportunity to present their solutions to the Congress in an interactive session. It should be noted that congress registration is required for the presentation, and participants should complete their registration early via the congress website (http://www.itsworldcongress2016.com). A discounted student registration rate is available for those who are eligible.

Winners will be recognized in the closing session of the Congress.

Awards for the best submission and the runner-ups: to be announced soon.
