ITSS Webinar — Advances with Autonomous Driving Systems

IEEE ITSS Webinar

The IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) invites you to a webinar on advances in autonomous driving systems, examining innovation from two complementary vantage points — the vehicle and the roadside.

Event Details

About the Webinar

Autonomous driving is advancing on two fronts at once. On board the vehicle, increasingly capable perception, prediction, and planning stacks are expanding what a single automated vehicle can sense and decide. From the roadside, infrastructure-based sensing and connectivity extend perception beyond the line of sight of any one vehicle and enable cooperative, system-level intelligence. This webinar brings together perspectives from industry and academia on how these two vantage points are evolving — and converging.

Distinguished Lecture — Dr. Tomas Levin

IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026 #05

Dr. Tomas Levin (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) will give a talk entitled “Jammertest — The Why, What and How?”

Event Details

Abstract

The talk presents the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s open vulnerability assessment program for GNSS-based positioning systems. As road transport increasingly depends on satellite navigation for everything from logistics to emergency services, threats such as jamming, spoofing, and meaconing have moved from theoretical concerns to operational risk.

The presentation is organized in three parts. The why addresses the policy and safety motivation behind transparent, government-led vulnerability testing. The what covers an evaluation methodology built around more than 150 real-world attack simulations with broad international participation. The how describes the practical organization of large-scale field experiments at Bleik, Norway, where the Jammertest exercise takes place. The talk closes with a discussion of how openly published findings inform resilient design choices for transportation infrastructure.

Distinguished Lecture — Prof. Simona Sacone

IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026 #04

Prof. Simona Sacone (University of Genoa) will give a talk entitled “Horizontal Cooperation Schemes in Container Transportation.”

Event Details

Abstract

Road container transport plays a crucial role in improving sustainability objectives, as it is responsible for a significant share of road congestion, pollutant emissions, and energy consumption. This talk highlights cooperation among freight carriers as a complementary and powerful lever to enhance both economic and environmental sustainability. By sharing transport orders, carriers can reduce the number of vehicles required to satisfy demand, thereby increasing profitability while lowering emissions and local pollution.

Distinguished Lecture — Prof. Jack Haddad

IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026 #03

Prof. Jack Haddad (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology) will give a talk entitled “Smarter Traffic Signal Control: Bridging Theory and Real-World Deployment.”

Event Details

Abstract

Urban traffic congestion imposes substantial environmental and economic costs on modern cities. This talk presents recent advances in smarter traffic signal control that bridge theoretical developments and real-world deployment.

The first part focuses on a real-time feedback-based Max-Pressure controller, commonly referred to as adaptive signal control, designed for scalable implementation using low-cost Bluetooth sensors. The second part highlights data-driven optimization through Google’s Green Light project, which leverages large-scale probe trajectory data to generate traffic signal timing recommendations that reduce emissions, without requiring new infrastructure or data sharing from cities.

ITSS Standards Committee Webinar — Quantum-Safe Cryptography for ITS

IEEE ITSS Standards Committee Webinar Series

IEEE ITSS Standards Committee (ITSS/SC) is thrilled to invite you to our webinar series focused on the technical and policy aspects of standards applied to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In this seminar, we are honoured to welcome our colleague from IBM, Canada.

Event Details

Abstract

This session introduces Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), or quantum-safe cryptography, from the perspective of engineering readiness for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). While quantum computing itself lies outside the scope of ITS, its potential to compromise widely used public-key cryptographic schemes raises important concerns for V2X communications, transportation infrastructure, automated driving platforms, and long-lifecycle embedded systems.

Distinguished Lecture — Prof. Davide Scaramuzza

IEEE ITSS Germany Chapter Distinguished Lecture Series 2026

Prof. Davide Scaramuzza (University of Zurich) will give a talk entitled “Agile Robotics: From Cameras to Neuromorphic Sensors.”

Event Details

Abstract

Robots play a crucial role in inspection, agriculture, logistics, autonomous driving, and search-and-rescue missions. However, they still lag behind humans in speed, versatility, and robustness. This talk will show how combining model-based and machine learning techniques with the capabilities of novel low-latency sensors (e.g., event cameras) can enable autonomous systems — such as drones, legged robots, robotic arms, and cars — to achieve improved agility and robustness. This will lead to better productivity and safety for future autonomous systems.

ITSS Standards Committee Webinar — VIL Testing for ADAS/ADS Safety

IEEE ITSS Standards Committee Webinar Series

Speakers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) present on Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL) testing for ADAS and automated vehicle safety evaluation.

Event Details

Abstract

The rapid growth in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems (ADS) has created an urgent need for efficient, repeatable, and comprehensive safety evaluation methods. Vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) testing has emerged as a promising approach that bridges the gap between simulation and real-world validation. By immersing a physical vehicle into a closed-loop virtual traffic environment, VIL enables robust, repeatable, and safe evaluation of ADAS and ADS features.
