IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INTELLIGENT VEHICLES, VOL. 1, NO. 1, MARCH 2016 3 IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles Senior Associate Editors Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/TIV.2016.2578658 Danil V. Prokhorov received the Diploma degree in robotics with honors from the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (formerly LIAP), St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1992, and the Ph.D. degree in EE from Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, USA, in 1997. He was with the St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the Ph.D. degree, he joined the staff of Ford Scientific Research Laboratory, Dearborn, MI, USA. While at Ford, he was involved in application-driven studies of intelligent technologies, developing new and improving existing machine learning/computational intelligence algorithms and applying them to problems in system modeling, control, diagnostics and optimization. He has been serving as a Panel Expert for the National Science Foundation, an Associate Editor of several IEEE Transactions and the Elsevier journal of Neural Networks. He has also been a Reviewer and a member of Organizing and/or Program Committees of many international journals and conferences. He has authored more than 100 scientific publications, as well as many patents. He has been involved in intelligent technologies research at Toyota Tech Center (TTC), Ann Arbor, MI, since joining TTC in 2005, and in particular, all main areas of research on highly automated vehicles. Since 2011, he has been the Head of Future Mobility Research Department at Toyota Research Institute North America (TRINA), an advanced research division within TTC. One of Toyota vehicles featuring TRINA experimental technologies was revealed to the public at the CES 2013 in Las Vegas, USA. Sadayuki Tsugawa received the B.E., M.E., and Doctor of Engineering degrees in 1968, 1970, and 1973, respectively, in instrumentation and control engineering all from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. In 1973, he joined Mechanical Engineering Laboratory under the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), where he started research on ITS and, in particular, automated driving and driver-assistance systems. In 1970s, he was involved in two ITS projects: a dynamic route guidance system named Comprehensive Automobile Traffic Control System sponsored by MITI, and a vision-based intelligent vehicle. In 1980s, he conducted research on autonomous navigation of the vision-based vehicle, and intervehicle communications and the applications. In early 1990s, he worked for Super Smart Vehicle System Studies as MITI’s ITS activities, one of the important results of which was intervehicle communications. In the year 2000, he and his group gave a demonstration on autonomous cooperative driving with five automated vehicles linked with the intervehicle communications based on 5.8 GHz DSRC. In 2003, he resigned from the laboratory (in 2001 the laboratory was reorganized to the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)) and joined Meijo University as a Professor in the Department of Information Engineering. In 2000s, he conducted projects on a driver-adaptive driver assistance system and an elderly-driver assistance system. From 2008 to 2013, he served as the Project Leader of “Energy ITS Project” sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, which focused on energy saving and CO 2 emission reduction for road transportation, and the main theme was an automated heavy truck platoon. In 2015, he retired from the university. He is currently an Invited Researcher at AIST. He was a BOG member of the IEEE ITS Society from 2008 to 2010. He received the Best Paper Prize by the Japanese Society of Instrument and Control Engineers in 1992, and by the Minister of Science and Technology for the research on ITS and intelligent vehicles in 1999. 2379-8858 © 2016 IEEE.
