We are pleased to announce that Yun Li, a second-year doctoral student, and Yuze Jiang, a first-year doctoral student, represented Tsukada Lab at the IEEE ITSC 2024 conference, held in Edmonton, Canada, from September 24 to 27, 2024. The 27th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (IEEE ITSC 2024) serves as the flagship event of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS), gathering researchers from around the globe to share advancements in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Yun Li’s Presentation: Yun Li presented a paper titled “Large Language Models for Human-like Autonomous Driving Decision Making: A Survey.” This research emphasizes the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs)Read more

The ITSC2024 workshop, titled “Vision Language Model Based Human-Centered Autonomous Driving”, was organized by Tsukada lab’s Prof. Naren and Prof. Javanmardi, alongside Prof. Alexander Carballo (Gifu University), and Prof. Cristina Johannes (Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria). The workshop explored the integration of vision language models (VLMs) into autonomous driving, with a focus on human factors in decision-making, safety, and interaction. The event featured five presentations, each covering unique aspects of human-centered autonomous driving technology. Summary of Presentations: Automated Vehicle Driver Monitoring Dataset from Real-World Scenarios Integrating Naturalistic Insights in Objective Multi-Vehicle Safety Framework Presenter: Enrico Del Re, Research Assistant, Johannes Kepler University Linz Enrico discussed the use of real-world dataRead more

We are pleased to report on our participation in the 35th IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IEEE IV 2024), held at Jeju Shinhwa World, Jeju Island, Korea, from June 2-5, 2024. This prestigious conference, sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS), brought together researchers, engineers, practitioners, and students from various sectors to discuss the latest advancements in intelligent vehicles and vehicle-infrastructure cooperation. Our laboratory was represented by Prof. Manabu Tsukada and Dr. Tao Ye presented his paper titled “Zero-Knowledge Proof of Distinct Identity: A Standard-Compatible Sybil-Resistant Pseudonym Extension for C-ITS.” The paper addresses the challenge of Sybil attacks in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) by proposing a novel protocolRead more

We are delighted to share that Vishal Chauhan, a member of our Tsukada Laboratory, and Anubhav from the Department of Mathematical Informatics, participated in the prestigious OzCHI’24 Student Design Challenge (SDC). This renowned event was held at the OzCHI conference in Brisbane, Australia, from November 30 to December 4, 2024. The conference serves as an international hub for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and cutting-edge research. The SDC centered on the theme Beyond Being Human, exploring how HCI extends beyond human interactions to encompass AI and the natural world. Vishal and Anubhav presented their innovative design solution, Reimagining Smart Poles: A Sustainable Interface for Pedestrian-AV Ecosystems. Their idea, which features sustainable smartRead more

The 2024 Tsukada Lab CRONOS Symposium, funded by JST’s CRONOS program, served as a kickoff event for collaborative discussions on advancing communication platforms that integrate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) systems with large language models (LLMs) and VR simulation technologies. This symposium, part of the project Evolutionary Communication Infrastructure Connecting Diverse Mobile Devices and Humans, aimed to foster dialogue among researchers and practitioners on developing efficient bidirectional interactions between humans and embodied AI. Keynote Presentations Manabu Tsukada (Associate Professor, The University of Tokyo) opened the symposium with a presentation on the development of adaptive communication platforms that connect diverse mobility systems with human-centric applications. Prof. Tsukada highlighted how next-generation communicationRead more
