Event overview
A talk by Prof. Arnaud de La Fortelle, MINES ParisTech --- Cooperative ITS: technologies and societal impacts
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are being deployed in many countries to solve problems arising in transport such as safety, efficiency, pollution or economic costs. A number of technological advances make these systems viable such as increasing computer power or decreasing sensors costs: even autonomous driving is seen as possible. Communication and information sharing rose quickly in the last decades and we now see the possibility to couple all these systems, giving birth to cooperative systems.
This talk will explain some features of these cooperative intelligent transportation systems. They are good candidates for our future but will be accepted only if their social impact is positive (not "Big Brother"-like). After all, their goals are social, not purely technical, so we have to consider their potential various impacts.
Short Bio:
---------
Arnaud de La Fortelle got a PhD degree from "Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées" in Paris, prepared at INRIA on theoretical properties of probability distributions (large deviations). He became Director of the joint research unit LaRA (the automated road) between INRIA and Mines ParisTech in 2006. He then moved to Mines ParisTech where he became Director of the Robotics Lab (CAOR) in 2008. During that period, he investigated communications for cooperative systems and the architecture needed in distributed systems. While keeping some fundamental research in probability theory, his main topic of interest is now cooperative systems (data distribution, control, mathematical certification) and their applications (e.g. Cybercars, collective taxis). He served the Board of Directors of IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society 2010-2012 and is currently vice-president of the French ANR Sustainable Transports and Mobility evaluation committee. Since 2014 he is coordinator of the international research chair "Drive for You" sponsored by PSA-Peugeot Citroën, Valeo and Safran and collaborating with UC Berkeley (USA), EPFL (Switzerland) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) for the study of autonomous driving.
