The URT-Kashiwa Dataset (Unprotected Right Turn, Kashiwa Campus) is a collection of driving scenario recordings focused on unprotected right turns, a challenging maneuver for autonomous vehicles (equivalent to unprotected left turns in Europe). The dataset was collected at the Kashiwa Campus of the University of Tokyo using the Pixkit 3.0 platform, and includes interactions with one pedestrian and one opponent vehicle across 16 different routes. © 2025 Tsukada Laboratory (T-Lab), The University of Tokyo Contributors: Ehsan Javanmardi, Dongyang Li, Manabu TsukadaRead more

We’re thrilled to announce the publication of our research paper, “AutowareV2X: Reliable V2X Communication and Collective Perception for Autonomous Driving,” authored by our dedicated team at the University Lab: Yu Asabe, Ehsan Javanmardi, Jin Nakazato, Manabu Tsukada, and Hiroshi Esaki. The paper is accepted by the prestigious 2023 IEEE 97th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2023-Spring), taking place in Florence, Italy, from 20-23 June 2023. The paper explores the application of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication for cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). We introduce AutowareV2X, a novel V2X communication module integrated into the Autoware autonomous driving software. With features like the Collective Perception Service and a dual-channel mechanism, the module enhances road safety andRead more
