The objective of this study is to develop an autonomous driving system based on mapping and ego-localization using a LIDAR. To handle curved path tracking scenario, this paper proposes a desired steering angle generator considering a constructed map using the LIDAR in real time combined with the feedback control of the preview lateral deviation. ...To handle curved path tracking scenario, this paper proposes a desired steering angle generator considering a constructed map using the LIDAR in real time combined with the feedback control of the preview lateral deviation. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by simulation and test drives using the autonomous path tracking control system.

The ATLID (ATmospheric LIDar) laser head places severe demands on the thermal control system. The heat load of 230W is concentrated in less than 60 cm2, while heat rejection is via radiators of restricted size exposed to a highly varying external thermal environment.

Contemporary ADS and ADAS localization technology utilizes real-time perception sensors such as visible light cameras, radar sensors, and lidar sensors, greatly improving transportation safety in sufficiently clear environmental conditions.

These methods use the vehicle’s current heading and generate a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) view through rectangular box regions. These box regions mimic the actual vision sensor regions, and logic can easily be applied to real vehicle conditions.

Since the late 1980s, Delphi Automotive Systems has been very involved with the practical development of a variety of Collision Avoidance products for the near- and long-term automotive market. Many of these complex collision avoidance products will require the integration of various vehicular components/systems in order to provide a cohesive functioning product that is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle infrastructure. One such example of this system integration process was the development of an Adaptive Cruise Control system on an Opel Vectra. The design approach heavily incorporated system engineering processes/procedures. The critical issues and other technical challenges in developing these systems will be explored. Details on the hardware and algorithms developed for this vehicle, as well as the greater systems integration issues that arose during its development will also be presented.

The use of very short wavelength radar sensors for closed loop adaptive cruise control (ACC) and obstacle detection has been demonstrated as part of various international research and technology demonstration programs (e.g. PROMETHEUS in Europe). The first radar systems for distance measurement and target tracking are now under development, with vehicle trials already under way in several countries. This paper describes a 77 GHz radar sensor which will begin production next year (1999) as a headway sensor, initially for use in cruise control systems. The challenges facing the sensor manufacturer include the development of robust product designs and process technologies suited to the high volume and reliability demands of the automotive market, whilst achieving this at a sustainable production cost. The key design features of such a product are described, together with the major factors influencing cost and performance.

This paper will address the basic requirements for realizing a stop and go cruise control system. Issues discussed comprise: functional, sensor and basic HMI requirements, primary characterization of naturalistic stop and go driving, and the basic approach of the transformation of situational knowledge in an elementary controller.
