Autonomous navigation among personal mobility devices – ANNAPOLIS

Urban centers are increasingly invaded by new means of individual electric transport (electric scooters, Hoverboard, Gyro-wheel, ...) at the source directly or indirectly of new erratic and unpredictable behavior in the traffic environment. The "Mobility Act 2019" provides for the use of scooters to be used on the lane when the lanes dedicated to the bicycle are not present. In such a context, autonomous vehicles suffer from their perception obtained from onboard sensors and sometimes reduced in the measurement field by bulky obstacles (buses, trucks, ...). ANNAPOLIS aims to increase the perception capacity of the vehicle in the aspects of precision, measurement field and content of the extracted information, to search for new models to take into account these unexpected events, to interpret and analyze scenes in constant evolution, to decide and select the best future movement.
