A Robotic Excavator for Autonomous Truck Loading

Autonomous Robots, 1999
Excavators are used for the rapid removal of soil and other materials in mines, quarries, and construction sites. The automation of these machines offers promise for increasing productivity and improving safety. To date, most research in this area has focussed on selected parts of the problem.

An Autonomic System for Intelligent Truck Parking

Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics, 2014
Traffic and road transport conditions are strongly influenced by the decisions of drivers. The more information they receive, the better decisions may be taken about their behavior. This is especially important in the transport of goods, since drivers are subject to traffic laws about maximum driving time and minimum time rest.

The Truck of the Future: Autonomous and Connected Driving at Daimler Trucks

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2017
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Due to the continuous increasing highway transport and the decreasing investments into infrastructure a better usage of the installed infrastructure is indispensable. Therefore the operation and interoperation of assistance and telematics systems become more and more necessary ...

Systems Integration, Simulation, and Control for Autonomous Trucking

2020 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV), 2020
This paper discusses a platform both in simulation and experimentation for testing autonomous heavy trucking. In simulation, we present a novel use of the video game American Truck Simulator (ATS) as the simulation platform, only costing a fraction of commercial simulator software. In experimentation, we present a modified ProStar 122+ using the PACMod

Optical Truck Tracking for Autonomous Platooning

2015
Platooning applications require precise knowledge about position and orientation pose of the leading vehicle. We present an optical solution for a robust pose estimation using artificial markers and a camera as the only sensor. Temporal coherence of image sequences is used in a Kalman filter to obtain precise estimates.

Transport Companies, Truck Drivers, and the Notion of Semi-Autonomous Trucks

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications Adjunct, 2017
Semi-autonomous driving is considered a particularly promising approach for truck drivers, as this special driver group spends almost their entire working time in a moving vehicle. Semi-autonomous driving could add to increased driving safety and relief of the truck driver.
