Domain Overview - Off-Road Driving

We participated in a technical readiness level assessment of semi-autonomous vehicles for the Army Research Laboratory. This assessment was conducted in three different terrains: arid, wooded and urban. We have analyzed the number of interventions, types of interventions, and time needed for the operators to acquire situation awareness in the different environments.
