SNU College of Engineering (Dean Lee Kun-woo) stated on 3rd that the journal on automated driving control published by the Integrated Vehicle Safety Control Lab of Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor Yi Kyong-su and Hyundai research team won 2017 Vincent Bendix Automotive Electronics Engineering Award of Society of Automotive Engineers. This was acknowledgment of international competitiveness of business-education co-research on automated vehicles.
The awarding ceremony is held this 4th at 'SAE 2017 World Congress' in Detroit, US.
The paper published by the research team, "Automated Driving Control in Safe Driving Envelope Based on Probabilistic Prediction of Surrounding Vehicle Behaviors", was acknowledge as the most meaningful paper among papers published for a year on automotive electronics and was awarded of Vincent Bendix Automotive Electronics Engineering Award.
Professor Yi's team who leaded the research succeeded in driving of automated vehicle on real highway in May 2016 for the first time domestically. Recently, they adopted the technology of automated safety control to electric cars and are researching on its safety in urban streets.
Professor Yi said "We are planning on researching future vehicle-ICT related technology to solve problems with future car, transportation and environments based on the technology of electric car-automated driving.
Meanwhile, the SNU Integrated Vehicle Safety Control Lab is Hyundai Automotive Group's cooperative research center supported by Hyundai Automotive. SNU, KAIST, and Aju University co-research on automotive driving safety technology and automated driving. They are planning to develop automated driving technology on urban roads until 2020 and they are researching on key recognition-judgment-control system for realization of the technology.
