A Novel Vehicle Reversing Speed Control Based on Obstacle Detection

Abstract:

Rencently, due to the increasing vehicles and traffic accidents, the demand of vehcile automation is growing fast, and the traditional vehicle control strategy cant meet the requirement of security. In this paper, we propose a novel vehicle reversing speed control based on obstacle detection. The main components of the system consist of three parts. Firstly, a binocular-cameras system aims to detect the obstacles behind the vehicle rear and measure the distance of them. Then, the framework of particle filter and the sparse representation is indtroduced to track and identify the main obstacles such as human beings, vehicles and any other obstacles. Finally, we send the obstacles signal to our Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to control the electronic throttle and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) so as to make reversing speed under a safe speed range.The last performance evaluation demonstrates the validity of the proposed vehicle reversing speed control based on obstacle detection.
