Tsukada Laboratory (T-Lab), The University of Tokyo, is pleased to announce the public release of the URT-Kashiwa Dataset, a novel driving dataset designed to support research on unprotected right turns, one of the most challenging maneuvers for autonomous vehicles. About the Dataset The URT-Kashiwa Dataset (Unprotected Right Turn, Kashiwa Campus) provides high-quality recordings of driving scenarios specifically focused on unprotected right turns—an essential case study for understanding decision-making in urban traffic. These scenarios are widely recognized as among the most difficult for autonomous driving systems to handle, given the need to negotiate with both oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. While unprotected left turns are a major focus in European traffic contexts,Read more
