Researcher Opportunity in AV Scenario Quality Improvement

We are seeking a researcher who will study how the quality of (test) scenarios can be substantially improved, thereby contributing to the safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and, ultimately, safe traffic for all.

Key Research Areas

  • Quality of Scenario Statistics: Define metrics for assessing the quality of scenarios and scenario databases. This involves:
    1. Estimating scenario exposure.
    2. Evaluating the diversity of scenarios within a database.
    3. Measuring the extent to which a set of scenarios covers specific areas.
  • Framework for Merging Scenario Statistics from Various Sources: Address the challenge of integrating traffic data from various locations and diverse sources, including vehicle sensors, roadside sensors, and accident data. Develop a framework capable of merging data sets with distinct characteristics.
  • Bias and Uncertainty Effects on Risk Quantification: Investigate the bias and uncertainty introduced in a data-driven, scenario-based framework for risk quantification. Factors contributing to this include:
    • Limited data.
    • Mismatches between collected data and the intended AV operating domain.
    • Data noise and scenario characterization.
    • Simulation inaccuracies.
  • Complex Scenario Space: Explore the complexity of the scenario space for data-driven, scenario-based AV assessment. Verify that an AV can handle scenarios that have not been previously observed.

About the Team

You will be part of TNO’s StreetWise team, which is an international team with diverse expertise. You will engage in innovative research on the aforementioned topics in close contact with the team as your research will be directly applied in order to contribute to real-world impact.

Opportunities for Growth
