Drivers Acceptance of Automating Bus Stop Docking 
Speaker: Joakim Jonsson, Project Manager Autonomous Research Projects, Volvo Buses

As part of its development work and research into automation, Volvo Buses is now testing a concept for autonomous driver support. The system assists the driver in situations that require high precision and safety, such as approaching and stopping at a bus stop. In the scientific study, researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology investigated how bus drivers react to the concept of autonomous driver support. Ten drivers conducted a total of 250 autonomous approaches at a bus stop while being filmed to see if their attention and body movements changed over time. The drivers also had to answer various questionnaires and were interviewed both before and after driving.

Safety ahead of the curve
Speaker: Tom Dahlström, Business Development Manager, Atlatec

The environmental awareness that comes from using HD maps makes for a safer, more redundant ADAS and AV performance: High-fidelity information about vehicle surroundings allows for better interpretation of real-time sensor input by providing environmental context - resulting in better decision making. But are HD maps sustainable as a scalable concept? This presentation takes a look at the challenges in building and maintaining these maps today.
