One of the most important events in the field of Automated Driving, the L3Pilot Summer School “Developing and Testing Automated Driving”, will take place in Athens, Greece, on 13-14 May 2020.
The L3Pilot Summer School focuses on the theory and practice of Automated Driving Implementation and Testing and offers the opportunity to researchers, PhD students, developers, technicians, and other professionals to learn more about the progress of the largest European pilot-testing of SAE Level 3 driving functions implemented by L3Pilot partners as well as to discuss the latest findings and main challenges in the areas of Automated Driving Technology (AD), namely: the key enablers of AD, the Testing and Validation Framework, the AD Human Factors in automotive engineering and the Impact Assessment of the AD Deployment.
During the L3Pilot Summer School prominent speakers from academia and industry, both internal and external to the L3Pilot consortium, as well as key-experts from other European projects and international initiatives in the field, will present the latest SoA developments, exchange knowledge and contribute to the ongoing discussions about the future of AD.
The Summer School will also provide the ground for senior and junior researchers and Ph.D. students to expand their expertise and networks and present their research work through a dedicated poster area to a number of academics and highly qualified professionals in the field.
You may find the official invitation of the L3Pilot Summer School here.
Call for posters
During the L3Pilot Summer School, a poster session will be also shown. If you are interested in submitting a poster please use this poster template for its preparation.
Poster submissions should be sent via email to Dr Angelos Amditis and Ms Nantia Skepetari of ICCS.
The poster submission deadline was extended:
- Abstract Submission: 3 March 2020
- Notification: 12 March 2020
- Final poster submission: 24 March 2020
Submit a short abstract (up to 800 words) for posters on all research topics that are related to the theory and practice of Automated Driving (AD) Implementation and Testing including, but not restricted to most recent developments, future directions or updates to establish approaches in the following topics:
- Key Enablers of AD
- Human Factors relevant to AD in automotive engineering
- Handling data for automation (Large scale data and Simulation methods)
- Needed Testing and Validation Framework and Practices
Please note that posters that are reviewed positively and are eligible for acceptance will be served on first come principle since the space is limited.
