AI advancements in the mobility space
At the recently concluded TechForward series seminar on AI in Vehicles, Prof. C V Jawahar described the mobility-related research efforts being undertaken at IIITH. Here’s a summarized version. At IIITH, we have been aiming to solve problems on Indian roads and driving conditions using data-driven technologies. With the help of techniques from machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, computational sensing, and allied areas, we have been creating solutions and transferring these solutions across diverse practical conditions on roads. One of the research studies that was undertaken includes early anticipation of driver actions before the onset of a manoeuvre, such as a turn, a lane change, a sudden halt and so on. When you know the driver in front of you is going to take a right turn without indicating with a signal, you anticipate and get ready for it perhaps by slowing down or changing lanes.
