Development of an Autonomous Vehicle for the Cyclic Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cyclic test is becoming one of important tests in automotive industry. Various cyclic tests are needed to be done after new concept of product or technology has developed. However it is almost impossible to do same test at same test condition in real situation because it highly depends on test road condition or driving ability of the driver. Therefore, in order to perform same performance test repeatedly, this paper describes about system configuration and path following algorithm for the cyclic test of the autonomous vehicle. The areas discussed in detail include vehicle modification, controller design, system configuration, navigation and path following algorithm. The performance of the test vehicle is also described and evaluated by experiment in real environment.
