2. • Driver error results in traffic accidents.
• Drive without supervision.
• Reducing accident number and accident
severity
• Saving energy and reducing harmful exhaust
emission
INTRODUCTION
3. WHAT IS AUTONOMOUS CARS?
It can steer itself while
looking out for obstacles.
It can accelerate itself to
the correct speed limit.
It can stop and go itself
based on any traffic
condition.
7. Automation Level :
The trajectory planning layer processes vehicle and
environment data passed on from
I. Perception layer
II. Driver's intention
III. Driver state assessment data
IV. Driver automation
Co-Pilot :
It will provide the set of
trajectories with their
prioritization
9. PERCEPTION LAYER
Environment Sensors :
The task of the
environment sensing
layer is to provide
comprehensive
information about the
surrounding objects
around the vehicle.
10. LIDAR
Optical Remote sensing.
Range = 60m (~197 feet)
This laser generates a detailed
3D map of its environment.
Position Estimator
A rotation sensor mounted on the
rear wheel.
Measures lateral movement and
determines exact position of the
vehicle on the map.
The location will be more accurate.
11. GPS Antenna
For receiving GPS (Global
Positioning System) signals.
As the vehicle moves, new
positional information and
sensor data are used to update
the vehicle’s internal map.
It is used to obtain the
location of the car.
12. Camera
Detects traffic lights &
traffic signs.
Helps the car to recognize
moving obstacles like
pedestrians and bicyclists
Ultrasonic
To measure and calculate
distance from the sensor to a
specified target object.
Use sound waves above
20 000 Hz.
13. RADARS
Detects vehicles far ahead.
Measure vehicles’ speed.
Used to locate the position of
distant objects.
Night Vision
Infrared systems.
Increases driver's
perception and visibility poor
weather and in darkness.
14. 1) Identify the position in a map.
2) Detecting other vehicles.
3) Predicting the trajectory of other moving objects.
4) Calculating the most appropriate path.
1) 2)
3) 4)
15. Advantages
React faster than humans.
Efficient use of highways.
360 degree perfection.
Cannot get distracted, sleepy, or intoxicated.
Avoid accidents.
Increasing roadway capacity by reducing the distances
between cars.
Exact location of vehicle can be determined.
16. CONCLUSION
Improves vehicle's stability helps to minimize loss of
control.
Minimize accidents
Imagine a world where Government don’t have to build
new roads to reduce traffic.
Imagine getting in the car and being able to go wherever
you want to go even if you don’t have a driving license.
