Autonomous Driving Control of Automatic Guided Vehicle using Tablet PCCSCJournals
In recent years, mobile terminals are inexpensive, but have high performance in both calculation and display, are equipped with many input / output devices, and are easy to develop software. Therefore, we thought that it could be used for control devices in the embedded field, and tried to apply it to control of autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). The control method is as follows; after taking a picture of the front passage with a camera and detecting the edge, the points at the boundary between the passage surface and other objects (walls and shelves) are extracted, and the left and right approximate straight lines are calculated from the points. Then, it runs with the intersection of the lines as the center of the passage. The problems were the influence of floor noise and the detection of incorrect road boundary lines. Therefore, we were able to reduce the detection of erroneous wall-floor boundary points by applying a noise removal method that makes the best use of the characteristics of the image, and to improve the detection accuracy of road boundary lines. With this improvement, the AGV, which initially traveled only about 10m, can be run to the last 100m of the test course, and as a result of measurement, the average error in the running direction is reduced to 20%, the maximum error is reduced to 21%, and the variation of running direction is reduced to 1.4%. The processing time is also about 250 milliseconds, which is a time that does not hinder the running control every second. From the above results, it is confirmed that the mobile terminal can be used stably on a relatively wide road, and it is shown that the mobile terminal can be applied to the embedded system.
Vehicle technology has increased rapidly in recent years, particularly in relation
to braking system and sensing system. In parallel to the development of braking
technologies, sensors have been developed that are capable of detecting physical obstacles,
other vehicles or pedestrians around the vehicle. This development prevents accidents of
vehicles using Stereo Multi-Purpose cameras, Automated Emergency Braking Systems and
Ultrasonic Sensors. The stereo multi-purpose camera provides spatial intelligence of up to
50 metres in front of the vehicle and there is an environment recognition of 500 metres.
Cars can automatically brake due to obstacles or any hindrance when the sensor senses the
obstacles. The braking circuit function is to brake the car automatically after receiving
signal from the sensors. All cars are competent in applying brakes automatically to a
maximum extent of deceleration of 0.4g. Integrated safety systems are based on three
principles. They are: collision avoidance, collision mitigation braking systems and forward
collision warning.

An autonomous vehicle is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. Imbibing intelligence to these devices is through a system called embedded systems. Embedded Systems are combinations of hardware and software that are mounted on compact electronic circuit boards integrated into devices. Autonomous vehicles sense their surroundings with such techniques as radar, GPS, and computer vision. These systems are more intelligent and autonomous.
The challenge faced by this system is that; there are many possible ways for hacking the GPS. This system also contains alternate way for moving the car even if still the GPS is blocked. But the alternative ways are still focused on connection with the satellite. Now there needs to be a total security for preventing hackers from hacking the satellite. This is going to be done by encrypting the signal sent from car to the satellite. There are many ways of encrypting, among which we are going to use the concept of Secret key Encryption method. We use One-Time-Pad concept where the data is converted to cipher text and then it is going to be decrypted by the satellite. By this way, we could create a high level security where only that particular car and the satellite will have a common code and each time the car moves to a location, there is going to be a random key generated.
The current topic which we had chosen is one of a major problem in autonomous cars, which needs to be focused on. Our objective is to bring a complete security for the car and its owner.
KWP2000 versus UDS: Keyword Protocol 2000 and Unified Diagnostic Services are the two most mainstream symptomatic guidelines inside the car business. A true examination between the two guidelines - KWP 2000 and UDS, can be useful in distinguishing the perfect indicative administration for your car utilize case.

Smart infrastructure for autonomous vehicles Jeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how autonomous vehicles are becoming economic feasible. They are becoming economically feasible because the cost of lasers, ICs, MEMS, and other electronic components are falling at 25 to 40% per year. If the cost of autonomous vehicles fall 25% a year, the cost of the electronics associated with autonomous vehicles will fall 90% in 10 years. Dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles is necessary to achieve the most benefits from autonomous vehicles. While using autonomous vehicles in combination with conventional vehicles can free drivers for other activities, dedicating roads to autonomous vehicles can dramatically reduce congestion, increase speeds, and thus increase the number of cars per area of the road. They can also reduce accidents, insurance, and the number of traffic police. These slide discuss the use of wireless technologies for the control and coordination of autonomous vehicles. Improvements in bandwidth, speed, and latency (delays) along with improvements in computer processing are occurring and these improvements are making dedicated roads for autonomous vehicles economically feasible.

automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to

Roll over mitigation constantly monitors the

threatens to roll over
The traction control system (TCS) detects if a loss of
traction occurs among the car's wheels
Electronic stability control systems use automatic
computer-controlled braking of individual wheels to
assist the driver in maintaining control of the car in
critical driving situations. ESC helps prevent a car from

9. Autonomous car Industry LiDAR, short for light detection and ranging, is a
remote sensing technology that uses light in the
form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges
(distances) to a target. A LiDAR sensor fires off
beams of laser light and then measures how long it
takes for the light to return to the sensor.
DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range
Communications) is a wireless
communication technology that
enables vehicles to communicate
with each other and other road
users directly, without involving
cellular or other infrastructure
It has been used in vehicles to support
drivers with their driving tasks like parking
and nearby obstacle detection.
Self-driving cars use camera technology to
see in high resolution. Cameras are used to
read road signs and markings. A variety of
lenses are placed around self-driving vehicles,
providing wide-angle views of close-up
surroundings and longer, narrower views of
what's ahead
Radar sensors aren't affected by light and
darkness and with the ability to detect
obstructions like glass, it can “see” through
walls.
Digital map is necessary for
autonomous vehicles
because they cannot compensate
for map inaccuracies the way
humans do when following their
GPS
There are several critical
technologies behind safe and
efficient autonomous-vehicle
operation—AI, safety and
security, cameras, network
infrastructure, and the sensor
technologies radar and lidar, or
laser-light radar.
