Abstract
The goal of this work is to enhance personal mobility vehicles (PMV) with autonomous vehicle technologies, such as autonomous cruise control to realize vehicle platooning and new potentials for next generation urban transportation system. This work reports our development on an automatic vehicle following system for autonomous platooning of PMV. We have developed a 3D sensing system for front vehicle detection in lateral lane keeping and longitudinal distance sensing We have implemented and conducted experiments of the automatic vehicle following system, and validated with the test runs of autonomous vehicle platooning.
