On Tuesday, June 25, Siemens and Work on Simulation held an award ceremony for the “2024 First Half Autonomous Driving Simulation Contest” sponsored by the School of Electronic Engineering at KMU. The competition is a competition for students to develop autonomous driving algorithms and test their autonomous driving performance in a simulation environment using Siemens' autonomous driving simulator Prescan tool.

 

 

The Prescan autonomous driving simulator, which is currently used by many companies in the autonomous driving industry, can model complex traffic environments in 3D and test various scenarios for autonomous vehicles in real time. In this year's competition, the students competed on a virtual track provided by the company to test their autonomous driving performance based on the autonomous driving algorithms they developed. They were also able to test their ability to respond to unexpected situations through simulations of various unexpected situations.

 

 

At the award ceremony, Vice President Kim Hyung Jin, CEO Lee Young Shin of Walk-on Simulation, and Professor Jeong Gu Min of the School of Electronic Engineering presented the students with awards and prizes. 
Vice President Kim Hyung Jin said, “The autonomous driving simulation contest is a good model of industry-academia collaboration. We look forward to its further development,” said Vice Chancellor Kim Hyung Jin.

 

 

“The importance of autonomous driving simulators is increasing in the autonomous driving market,” said Lee Young Shin, Vice President of Work on Simulation. In particular, it plays a big role in minimizing the risk of accidents by modeling various unexpected situations. We will be preparing for a bigger competition in the future and hope that Kookmin University students will participate."

 

 

“Currently, we are working on autonomous driving-related projects with Hyundai Motor Company and NIPA, using the Prescan tool,” said Dr. Jeong Gu Min, professor of electronic engineering. We hope that the simulation tools used in the field will help students cultivate their practical skills and find employment."
