Addressing Driver Disengagement and Proper System Use: Human Factors Recommendations for Level 2 Driving Automation Design
Level 2 driving automation has the potential to reduce crashes; however, there are known risks when using these systems, particularly as they relate to drivers becoming disengaged from driving. This paper provides data-driven recommendations for Level 2 driving automation design using the best currently available methods to encourage driver engagement and communicate where and how […]
A Framework for Shaping the Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles and Advancing Equity Outcomes: Knight Autonomous Vehicle Initiative
Using experience from working on the Knight AV Initiative, Urbanism Next created this white paper to provide a foundation for public sector agencies to approach autonomous vehicle deployment and policy with a focus on equity. This report outlines ways that public agencies can identify community needs and shape deployment to ensure that AVs will be […]
Delivering freight. Disengage free.
We founded Kodiak in April 2018 with the belief that a world-class team narrowly focused on long-haul trucking could quickly catch up to the burgeoning self-driving trucking industry, and just as quickly surpass it. We received our first truck in December 2018, and carried our first commercial load from Dallas to Houston just eight months […]
USDOT Automated Vehicles Comprehensive Plan
The Automated Vehicles Comprehensive Plan (Comprehensive Plan) advances the United States Department of Transportation’s (U.S. DOT) work to prioritize safety while preparing for the future of transportation. Building upon the principles stated in Ensuring American Leadership in Automated Vehicle Technologies: Automated Vehicles 4.0 (AV 4.0), the plan defines three goals to achieve this vision for […]
Systems Integration, Simulation, and Control for Autonomous Trucking
This paper discusses a platform both in simulation and experimentation for testing autonomous heavy trucking. In simulation, we present a novel use of the video game American Truck Simulator (ATS) as the simulation platform, only costing a fraction of commercial simulator software. In experimentation, we present a modified ProStar 122+ using the PACMod system from […]
What is ADAS? Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Guide
Every year in the U.S. more than six million car crashes occur. Three million people are injured in a collision. An average of 38,000 people die. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are helping reduce these numbers, saving lives by equipping vehicles with advanced safety features. The integration of ADAS systems is estimated to prevent 40 percent of all […]
