4 Background Rochester Institute of Technology is re-entering the field of autonomous vehicle research. Research and development of autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more popular in the automotive industry. It is believed that autonomous vehicles are the future for easy and efficient transportation that will make for safer, less congested roadways. Our project will follow the work completed by the Phase I and II teams. 4

5 Problem Statement Current State There have been two phases of this project so far. The first phase focused on modifying a golf cart into a remote controlled vehicle. The second phase is working on adding autonomous functionality to the APM in highly restricted settings Desired State APM is capable of localization, path planning, path following, and object avoidance. APM provides a simple human-machine interface which displays diagnostic information. Passengers have the ability to take control of the vehicle whether it is moving or stationary Project Goals APM can drive autonomously on a closed course while avoiding static and moving obstacles, staying on the designated path, and maintaining the safety of passengers and bystanders Constraints Phase II & CE Team accomplishments; budget; time for research; course characteristics 5

6 Project Scope Phase I Phase II & CE Team Phase III Remote control Manual override Remote subsystem functionality Basic path following (GMAP/SLAM) Electronics enclosure Touch screen mounting/basic GUI Mounting of LiDAR & sensors Object detection Algorithms to utilize LiDAR & ultrasonics Fully waterproofing electronics Path planning Basic user interface Emergency stop Redesign of main PCB 6

7 Customer Requirements Key Required functionality for completion Highly recommended functionality Preferred functionality Customer Rqmt. # Importance Description CR1 9 APM must, at a minimum, be able to operate within a closed course in autonomous mode CR2 9 APM must move forwards in autonomous mode CR3 9 APM must have intelligent vehicle control: driving CR4 9 APM must have intelligent vehicle control: steering CR5 9 APM must have intelligent vehicle control: braking CR6 3 APM must re-route path to avoid obstacle CR7 9 APM must be able to detect obstacles and brake CR8 3 APM must exhibit localization CR9 3 APM must have diagnostic data logging capability CR10 1 APM will have a display which will show it's location on a map, as well as diagnostic information CR11 9 APM destination must be input via Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) or remote desktop to the onboard PC CR12 9 APM must perform an emergency stop when a passenger hits the emergency stop button, or when the remote control device activates the emergency stop CR13 9 APM must have a way to switch between manual, remote, and autonomous modes CR14 9 APM must have a waterproof enclosure to protect computer and other electronics CR15 9 APM must have clear and accurate documentation on all aspects of cart along with their theoretical operations CR16 9 APM must have videos consisting of explanations of various subsystems CR17 9 APM must have schematics and wiring diagrams for all electrical modifications made to cart CR18 9 APM must have drawings of all mechanical modifications made to cart over the different phases 7

14 Future Mounting Tasks Stereo cameras Re-mounting of brake actuator to resolve interference Fully securing electronics enclosure Weatherproofing 14

15 Emergency Stop: Electrical 15

16 Emergency Stop: Electrical 16

17 Throttle Stock Mode Override 17

18 Steering Control Steering System Issues Requires 5V signal High pitch whining if driven by PWM Current design uses 2 DAC s for different steering signal Current design uses additional DAC for a reference voltage There are only 2 DACs per Arduino Due Possible Solutions Switch to Arduino Megas Improve level shifting circuit Benefits of improving the leveling shifting circuit Uses a DAC and not PWM Requires a single DAC instead of 3 Requires 1 Arduino instead of 2 PCB needs to be improved anyways 18

19 Proposed Steering Control Improvement Split output and use Op Amps to scale voltages Voltage subtractor and non-inverting configurations Converts a single output from V to a differential output from 0-5 V 19
