**David Fern´andez-Llorca** received the MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunications Engineering (2003 and 2008) from the University of Alcala (UAH) and was the recipient of the Best Master Thesis ´ Award from ADA Lectureship Madrid (2004), the Best Academic Record Award from IVECO (2004) and the Best PhD Thesis UAH (2010). He is Full Professor and Head of the INVETT Research Group. He is the author of more than 120 publications. He was ranked as the #1 most collaborative author in ITS in Europe during the period of 2010–2013. He is co-inventor in 15 patents (10 in exploitation). He has been a recipient of the IEEE ITSS Young Researcher Award (2018, under 40), the Young Research Medal of the Real Academ´ıa de Ingenier´ıa (2018, under 40), Consejo Social Award (UAH, 2018), Best National Patent Award (UAH, 2017), the Best Team with Full Automation of GCDC 2016, the 2013 IEEE ITSS Outstanding Application Award, the Best Young Researcher Award from UAH in 2013, the Best Research Award in the domain of Automotive and Vehicle Applications in Spain in 2008 and the 3M Foundation Awards in 2009. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of the *IET Intelligent Transport Systems* journal and he has served as Associate Editor of the *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* and the *Journal of Advanced Transportation*.

**Ignacio Parra Alonso** received the MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Alcala (UAH) in 2005 and 2010, respectively. He currently works as an ´ Associate Professor at the Computer Engineering Department, UAH. His research interests include intelligent transportation systems and computer vision. He received the Master Thesis Award in eSafety from the ADA Lectureship at the Technical University of Madrid, Spain, in 2006 and the 3M Foundation Award under the category of eSafety in 2009.

**Iv´an Garc´ıa Daza** received the MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Alcala (UAH), Madrid (Spain), in 2004 and 2011, respectively. His thesis presented ´ a new approach for estimating the drowsiness level of the driver to provide alerts about dangerous situations in the driving task by using artificial intelligence techniques. At present, he is Assistant Professor with the Computer Engineering Department at UAH, and he has been a member of the INVETT research group since 2007. His research interests are mainly focused on intelligent transportation systems and intelligent vehicles, more specifically on topics such as the HD mapping process, modeling the car dynamics and cinematics to improve the behavior of Bayesian filters, sensor data fusion, LiDAR perception and optimization algorithms to improve the odometry systems errors. He is the author of more than 20 referenced papers in international journals and conference proceedings.
