Abstract

The technological issues and legal considerations associated with fully automated vehicles have prompted the automotive industry to focus more on supervised systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Transportation departments worldwide are concerned with social, economic, or environmental objectives aimed at enhancing fuel and road network efficiency and quality of life. Recently, the automotive industry´s success with ADAS has induced the military to reconsider its ground-fleet-automation goal. Researchers are considering unmanned-vehicle technology for many other applications. However, most common and attracting the most industry interest is the automation of road vehicles. Unmanned ground vehicles shape our future by providing enhanced safety and improved mobility
