Chi è: Da anni impegnato nello sviluppo di veicoli automatici. Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Università di Parma. Alberto Broggi was born in Parma, Italy, in December 1966. He received the Dr. Ing. (Master) degree in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Information Technology both from the Università di Parma, Italy, in 1990 and 1994, respectively. From 1994 to 1998 he was an Assistant Professor at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione of the Università di Parma; from November 1998 to October 2001 he has been Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica (Vision Laboratory) of the Università di Pavia, Italy. On November 2001 he joined again the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione of the Università di Parma as an Associate Professor of Computer Engineering. In 2003 he got the recognition for Full Professorship in two distinct Universities and two years later became Full Professor at the Università di Parma. From 2000 to 2003 he has also been Visiting Professor at the Perception Systeme Information Lab. (PSI), Institut National des Sciences Appliquees (INSA) de Rouen, Rouen, France. The main milestones that he loves to cite are the ARGO Project (a 2000+ km test done on Italian highways back in 1998 in which the ARGO vehicle drove itself in automatic way) and the setup of the Terramax vehicle who reached the finish line of the DARPA Grand Challenge 2005. He is the Director of the Artificial Vision and Intelligent Systems Lab and author of more than 150 publications on international scientific journals, book chapters, refereed conference proceedings, and a book covering the whole ARGO Project, which was also translated in chinese. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems for the term 2004-2008; in 2009 he acted as the new President-Elect of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society; he was President of the same Society for the term 2010-2011; and in 2012 he is Past-President. His main research interests are related to the application of artificial vision techniques in automotive applications. He was the coordinator of the ARGO Project, aimed at developing a computer vision system to the automatic driving of a passenger car on highways and freeways. Currently he is coordinator of other projects related to the use of daytime and infrared vision for human shape localization and pedestrian detection, as well as obstacle, lane, and vehicle detection. The official site of the ARGO Project contains many details, images, and movies about the project, as well as reports and articles appeared on newspapers, magazines, and clips broadcasted by TV news programs. He is the local coordinator of the TerraMax Team for the DARPA Grand Challenge event. Actively involved in the organization of scientific events, Prof. Broggi is on the Editorial Board and Program Committee of many international journals and conferences and has been invited to give talks and act as guest-editor of journals and magazines theme issues on topics related to Intelligent Vehicles, Computer Vision Application, and Computer Architectures for Real-Time Image Processing. Prof. Broggi is the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems (for the term 2004-2007), and has been the Founding Editor of the Newsletter of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Council (from 1999 to 2003); he acted as representative of the IEEE Computer Society on the same Council. He is the co-chair and co-founder of the Technical Committee on Intelligent Transportation Systems of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. He has been the Editor of a regular Department on ITS on IEEE Intelligent Systems Magazine from 1999 to 2003. He acted as Program Chair of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, Detroit, 2000, and General Chair of the same Symposium in 2004, Parma, Italy. He obtained four certificates di appreciation from the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Council.
