The PhD has been directed by Arnaud de La Fortelle.

 

To attend:
MINES PARIS
60, Saint-Michel boulevard, Paris, room L109.

 

Jury members:

Abstract:

The thesis focuses on advancing both theoretically and experimentally toward a better understanding of hierarchical planning and control schemes and propose evaluation protocols for cooperative autonomous driving. Advances regarding more dynamic planning changes, including backup maneuvers that can require higher dynamics than usual driving are expected and also advances regarding learned planning and control schemes. All the contributions will be experimented on real cars.
