Developing an autonomous service car: golf-cart prototype modelling

抄録

The key changes in traffic management and individual vehicles control that occurred in the past decade are directly related to the autonomous vehicle technologies evolution. This paper presents our approach to development of an autonomous golf cart, which targets for operating in private areas without access for regular vehicles. On-board computer of the autonomous golf cart will be designed to utilize sensory information about terrain and technical capabilities of the vehicle itself in order to perform localization, calculate an optimal trajectory from a start position to a target position within a given map, recognize dynamic obstacles, and adjust the route in real time.
