Decision Making, Planning, and Control Strategies for Intelligent Vehicles

Haotian Cao is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, China. He received a B.E. in vehicle engineering and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, China, in 2011 and 2018, respectively. He was a visiting scholar at Human Factors group, the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) from 2016 to 2017. He is a committee member of the Chinese Association of Automation Parallel Intelligence (2018-2022), and a referee of multiple international journals and conferences. He is also a Principal Investigator (PI) of a project funded by Natural Science Foundation of China (NFSC). His interests include trajectory planning and following control for autonomous vehicles, technology related to vehicle dynamical systems, driver behavior modeling, and naturalistic driving data analysis.Mingjun Li received a B.E in vehicle engineering from Hunan University, Changsha, China, in 2016, where he has been working toward a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering since 2017. He is also a visiting Ph.D. student with the Waterloo Cognitive Autonomous Driving (CogDrive) Lab at University of Waterloo, Canada from September 2019. His research interests include the shared control strategy, vehicle dynamics and control, driver-assistance systems, and human-driver behaviors analysis for intelligent vehicles.Song Zhao received a B.E. in vehicle engineering from Hunan University, Changsha, China in 2016. He then studied at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and received an MEng. in Global Automotive Manufacturing Engineering. After working in the industry for three years, he is now pursuing his Ph.D. in the Waterloo Cognitive Autonomous Driving (CogDrive) lab at Univesity of Waterloo, Canada. His research interests include vehicle dynamic and control, behavior and motion planning, and advance driver-assistance systems for intelligent vehicles.Xiaolin Song received her B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. at the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University in 1988, 1991, and 2007, respectively. From 2008 to the present, she has been a professor and a Ph.D. supervisior at Hunan University. She was an advanced visiting scholar of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), the University of Waterloo, and the University of Texas at Austin. She is a Vice Chairman of Rules Committee of Formula Student China, as well as an Academic Committee Member of the College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University. She has been an independent PI and Co-PI for over five projects of the NSFC, and over ten other provincial and ministerial projects. Her research interests include vehicle active safety, vehicle dynamics control, driver modeling, and human factors in driving safety.
