Enhanced Perception for Autonomous Truck Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) to Increase Work Zone Safety

Start Date: May 2023

Duration: 1 Year

This project aims to make an exiting autonomous truck mounted attenuator (ATMA) system fully operational for harsh Canadian weather conditions, and to improve motion planning of the control system. This will be achieved by augmenting the perception module with visual-LiDAR fusion and semantics integration into the ATMA system, then designing a robust control system to address low visibility and perceptually degraded conditions in harsh weather scenarios.
