10:10 – 11:00 am – Workshop presentation “Challenges in Autonomous Vehicle Validation and Verification”, Dr. M. Ilhan Akbas, Assistant Professor, Embry-Riddle Aeronautic University

11:00 – 12:00 am – “PolyVerif – Autonomous Vehicle Validation and Verification Methodology”, Mahesh Menase and Shivendra Verma, Acclivis technologies

12:00 – 1:00 – PolyVerif Demo

 

PolyVerif is an open-source validation and verification framework for autonomous vehicles. The framework integrates open-source components such as Autoware, Scenic, and LG Simulator within an overall Design for Experiment structure. PolyVerif also provides multiple pathways (drone, ground, etc) to build digital twin capability into the simulation environment. Polyverif provides extensive API access to introduce noise models for sensors, GPS, perception, and path planning functions. Sponsored by Florida Polytechnic University, the PolyVerif framework’s objective is to provide a highly functional research platform
