Intelligence Level Performance Standards Research for Autonomous Vehicles

subject

description

International audience; United States and European safety standards have evolved to protect workers near AutomaticGuided Vehicles (AGVs). However, performance standards for AGVs and mobile robots have only recently begun development. Lessons can be learned from research and standards effortsfor mobile robots applied to emergency response and military applications. Research challenges, tests and evaluations, and programs to develop higher intelligencelevelsfor vehicles can also be used to guide industrial AGV developments towards more adaptable and intelligent systems. These other efforts also provide useful standards development criteria for AGV performance test methods. Current standards areas being considered for AGVs are for docking, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and the ground truth systems that measure performance. This paper provides a look to the future with standards developments in both the performance of vehicles and the dynamic perception systems that measure intelligent vehicle performance.
