• Abstract: The use of smart roadside infrastructure sensors is highly relevant for future applications of connected and automated vehicles. External sensor technology in the form of intelligent transportation system stations (ITS-Ss) can provide safety-critical real-time information about road users in the form of a digital twin. The choice of sensor setups has a major influence on the downstream function as well as the data quality. To date, there is insufficient research on which sensor setups result in which levels of ITS-S data quality. We present a novel approach to perform detailed quality assessment for smart roadside infrastructure sensors. Our framework is multimodal across different sensor types and is evaluated on the DAIR-V2X dataset. We analyze the composition of different lidar and camera sensors and assess them in terms of accuracy, latency, and reliability. The evaluations show that the framework can be used reliably for several future ITS-S applications.

  Proprioceptive sensors on planetary rovers serve for state estimation and for understanding terrain and locomotion performance. Force-torque sensors are less explored for planetary navigation despite their potential to directly measure interaction forces. This paper presents an evaluation of the performance and use cases of force-torque sensors based on data collected from a six-wheeled rover.
