IEEE Meeting: Richard Bishop, "Intelligent Vehicle
Technology and Trends" |
5:15pm @ Broun 238 |
|
Richard Bishop will provide an overview of the broad and
very vigorous field of intelligent vehicle technology --
systems on-board vehicles which can sense the surrounding
environment and detect crashes or other hazards and assist
the driver in safe maneuvering. The variety of applications
includes forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control,
lane departure warning, drowsy driver warning, lane keeping,
and even full automation of the driving task. Several of
these systems are already on the market in cars, heavy
trucks, and transit buses. Mr. Bishop's talk will address
both technical and market issues on a global basis,
concluding with some perspectives on "what's hot" in terms
of research and technology needs to support this transition
to ever-smarter cars. Richard Bishop is an EE graduate
from Auburn, author of the new ITS book "Intelligent Vehicle
Technology and Trends," and owner of Bishop Consulting. For
