Title : Adaptive Sensor Systems: Cooperative Driving
| Presenter | Willem van Willigen |
| Abstract | In this talk I will give an introduction to cooperative driving. When using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, cars are able to drive much closer to each other, improving throughput on highways. However, safety must be guaranteed to some extent . This is a challenging task, particularly because of many uncertain parameters in information and communication. In this presentation, I will present some preliminary results that we obtained by simulating emergency stops, using three different vehicle controllers. The results give an indication of the minimal distance cars should keep, given a certain velocity. |
Title : Modelling Social Decision Making with Emotions
| Presenter | Alexei Sharpanskykh |
| Abstract | It is widely recognized that both cognitive and affective aspects play an important role in human decision making. In most recent approaches for computational modelling of affective agents emotions have a cognitive origin. In contrast to these approaches, the computational social decision making model, which I shall introduce in my WAI talk, is grounded on neurological principles and theories, thus providing a deeper level of understanding of decision making. The proposed approach integrates existing neurological and cognitive theories of emotion in a decision model based on evaluation of simulated behaviour chains. The application of the proposed model will be demonstrated in the context of an emergency scenario. |
