About the laboratory

Description

The main target of our research is to support and develop novel technologies for transportation and information engineering.It covers image/video analysis, data analysis, AI, IoT, visualization, data science, transportation planning, city planning, planning mathematics, traffic information system and driving assessment. 

Organization of research

Our laboratory is composed of two faculty members Dr. TAKAHASHI and Dr. HAGIWARA as the same research team. Research activities, seminars, and other events have cooperated with all members. Seminars which are reported research progress from some students are held every week. Basically, all students have a research meeting with the supervisor.

Ongoing projects

The examples of reserach projects are follows: 

(1) Avoidance behavior on bicycle trips detection based on multimodal apporach for road management
(2) Effects of Winter road surface on driver's risk avoidance behavior when the vehicle are entering a curve with adaptive cruise control
(3) Development of poor visibility assessment method in winter using images taken by on-board video camera
(4) Effect of speed adjustment delineator on driver's risk avoiding behavior with the merging vehicle while level 2 automated driving
(5) Effects of time-gap settings of adaptive cruise control (ACC) on driver's risk feeling estimated by the car-following situation
(6) Estimating Road Narrowing Condition by in-Vehicle Camera
(7) Visibility level estimation in winter CCTV images based on decision level fusion
(8) Estimating visibility level based on low rank matrix completion using GPV data
(9) Automatic generation of training data for deep learning in AR-based transportation support system

Information for potential applicants

Applicants' background

It will be great if applicants have basic knowledge about transportation engineering, information science, and computational skills. Experimental works in our laboratory always need a spirit of cooperation. We expect that the students proactively work together with the others.
