In recent years, personal mobility vehicles represented by electric wheelchairs have spread to society as new means of transportation. On the other hand, the number of electric wheelchair accidents tends to increase. Within such a background, there is a lot of research on self driving as part of a driving support system aimed at reducing accidents. A personal mobility vehicle RT-Mover PType 3 is our vehicle for this kind of research. We improve the wheel part to speed up PType 3. And we prepare a mount base for a sensor on PType 3 for environmental recognition for self driving system. In addition, we introduce the current situation on building up the environment for self driving system.
