12 Driving innovation through research excellenceTHEME FI NTELLIGENT S YSTEMS AND S ENSORSTheme Coordinator: Dr. Denis Gingras, Université de SherbrookeEvery year, cars are becoming "smarter." Today, manycars are equipped with global positioning systems andother navigational aids. In the future, vehicles will becapable of offering more extensive navigationassistance, monitoring their own systems and alertingthe driver when action is required. They will alsocontain other sensor systems that will alert drivers tohazardous conditions.Theme F focuses on the intelligent systems andsensors that will become even more prevalent in theupcoming years. The three projects in Theme F focuson three streams of study:I) Control and Monitoring of Vehicle Behaviour:Using systems such as advanced electronics,integrated chassis control systems, and activeII)airbag control systems, vehicles will be able tomonitor their onboard systems to adjust forcertain situations.Vehicle Guidance, Navigation & Telematics:Collecting and transmitting information enroute,including guidance, traffic conditions and transitschedules. Such systems can decrease trafficincidents, reroute traffic flow and allow forautomatic toll collections.III) Driving Assistance and Automation: Developingdriver assistance systems will help reduceaccidents, injuries, death and property damage.These systems help drivers make decisions andoperate vehicles more effectively.Project TitleProject LeaderF01 Collaborative Driving System Dr. Jean de Lafontaine, Université de SherbrookeDr. François Michaud, Université de SherbrookeF02 Construction of Integrated Navigation Dr. Elizabeth Cannon, University of CalgaryInformation InfrastructureDr. Shengrui Wang, University of WindsorF03 Interior Noise Environment of Future Automobiles Dr. Patrice Masson, Université de SherbrookeDr. Alain Berry, Université de SherbrookeF01With the high volume of vehicles on the road, the use ofintelligent systems and sensors will increase. Project F01:Collaborative Driving Systems examines how assisted drivingand automation could contribute to fewer accidents, decreasedtraffic congestion and reduced driver stress. Led by Dr. Jean deLafontaine and Dr. François Michaud at the Université deSherbrooke, the research includes the use of robot car convoysto simulate real-life situations.
