IHMC and InterDigital’s Innovation Partners Debut Contextual Driving Platform at MWC 2017
February 27 2017 - 2:00AM
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2017 -- InterDigital, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and development
company, and Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition
(IHMC) based in Pensacola, FL, a not-for-profit multidisciplinary
research institute, today announced a debut demonstration of their
Contextual Driving Platform (CDP) at this year’s Mobile World
Congress.
InterDigital’s Innovation Partners and IHMC collaborated to
develop a contextual driving platform to demonstrate cooperative
sensor data fusion techniques based on data from on-board sensors
and Vehicle-to-X communications for situational awareness. In an
interactive demonstration, MWC attendees will be able to experience
the contextual services offered by the platform through a virtual
reality driving experience. The technology demonstration will
highlight how the vehicles sense, collaborate with each other to
compute risk exposure, improve performance, optimize trajectories
and adapt self-driving behavior.
“We will be seeing self-driving vehicles equipped with a
multitude of camera, radar and LIDAR sensors, as well as 5G and V2V
communication capabilities, appear on the road soon. For a long
time, we still will have human-driven cars sharing the road with
automated vehicles. With this platform, we are demonstrating how
these two different sets of vehicles can work together to
understand mixed traffic conditions, share situational data and
monitor, assess and mitigate risks to make driving safe both for
computer algorithms and humans. Via the immersive Virtual Reality
experience, we are offering a taste of the future’s automated
driving world now,” said Samian Kaur, Director, Partner Development
at InterDigital.
“Vehicle safety should be a collaborative process, informed by
prior knowledge of historical risk collected from surrounding
vehicles. This is basically the way that humans reduce
risk. We notice the driving manner of an approaching vehicle,
the closing speeds and proximity and make a risk assessment that
helps us to reduce or increase speed for better safety
margin. Part of that assessment is an intuitive notion based
on the surrounding vehicles, road conditions, situational awareness
and driving experience. The Contextual Driving Platform allows us
to explore these possibilities as a V2X networked solution,” said
Tim Hutcheson, Research Associate at IHMC.
Innovation Partners is InterDigital's technology sourcing
initiative based on partnerships with leading technology firms,
innovators and research organizations worldwide. Innovation
Partners recognizes the importance of partnerships to capitalize on
opportunities to expand the company's research and development
efforts in response to the evolution of the mobile technology
