Field Operation Test of Sensing System and ECU Function for Automatic Driving of Trailer-type Truck

Abstract

This paper deals with a feasibility study of an ECU and sensor systems for automatic driving of a heavy-duty vehicle. The energy-saving ITS project has been researching for the automatic platoon driving of heavy-duty vehicles using an ECU and several sensing systems which were a camera / a laser radar lane marking recognition system and a road surface recognition system . In this research, a usability of the sensing system was examined by a long term measurement and a practical logistic environment. An evaluation of the ECU and the sensing systems were carried out during work on an actual logistic truck.
