1. The Evolution of Automobile leading to Autonomous Vehicles by Mr Dan Chia Wei Ming, Senior Lecturer, ICT Cluster, Singapore Institute of Technology
2. Testing AV environment with PTV Vissim By Mr Gobee Gopal, Technical Director, PVT Asia Pacific Pte Ltd As we progress into the future of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) technology, there is a need to validate the system and its impact before introducing this into the real world. However, testing in the real world has its limitations. As a multimodal traffic simulation software, PTV Vissim allows for a range of CAV testing, from simplified behaviours to advanced API’s for realistic emulation of control algorithms. Learn more about the benefits of a virtual testbed environment and how it supports the real world testing of CAV.
3. Overview of CETRAN and TR 68 : 2019 - Technical Reference for autonomous vehicles by Mr Niels de Boer, Program Director of the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of Autonomous Vehicles – NTU (CETRAN)
NTU has been appointed as the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs – NTU (CETRAN) by the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) to support development of test requirements and standards to deploy AVs in Singapore.
Technical Reference 68 (TR68) was launched in January 2019 to promote the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles in Singapore. Four working groups comprising representatives from the AV industry, research institutions, institutes of higher learning and government agencies developed guidelines covering four key areas of AV deployment: vehicle behaviour, safety, cybersecurity and data formats. Overseas experts were also consulted during the drafting of the TR. As a provisional standard, TR68 will continue to be refined as we incorporate lessons learnt from trials, international developments and feedback from the industry.
4. Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles in Singapore
by Mr Roy Kee, Director, Vehicle Engineering, Vehicle Service Group, Land Transport Authority The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will share its motivation for pursuing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology as guided by a vision of an AV-enabled land transport landscape in the future. This presentation will also provide an overview of the various initiatives taken by LTA in the lead up to the pilot deployment of AVs in Punggol, Tengah and Jurong Innovation District in the early 2020s
