Autotaxi

  • "Safety Critical Sensor Integration for Autonomous Vehicles (Autotaxi)", Foresight Vehicle Link Collaborative Project, February 2003 - July 2005, funded by the DTI.

Autotaxi is a 2-year collaborative project funded by the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as part of the Foresight Vehicle Link Programme. The project partners are TRW Automotive Limited, Advanced Transport Systems Limited, Praxis Critical Systems Limited, University of Bristol and University of Warwick.

The project developed a safety critical sensor system for autonomous vehicles. The sensing technologies used were radar, video and optical ranging devices. Warwick University was responsible for the development of obstacle detection algorithms for the video sensor.

Contact person for Autotaxi project at Warwick University: Dr Tardi Tjahjadi.
