Abstract:
Rapid growth in the development, implementation, testing and deployment of Automated Vehicles (AV) in recent years highlights the global eagerness toward safer, cost-effective, cleaner and accessible transportation solutions. Reaching the promises requires continuous improvements in the AV software design and the preparation of pipelines to share that progress with the public and road authorities. An AV onboard data recording system plays a crucial role in delivering such information. In this work, we introduce Flowride® logger, a combined continuous and event-based data collection framework for real deployed AVs. Our approach considers two objectives to accomplish: 1- To aid software engineering efforts with real data from the deployed vehicle for data-driven development procedure. 2- To record, store, and share data with third party and road authorities for safety purposes and incident reports. Flowride® logger framework performance was discussed using observation from its implemen
tation on the automated e-ATAK vehicle. This 8-meter electric-powered bus is part of the public transportation fleet of Stavanger, Norway. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of Flowride® logger as a means for data collection from deployed AVs.
