Development of Sensing and Control Technology for Precise Docking of Advanced Rapid Transit system

Abstract

This research is part of the Strategic Innovation Promotion Program(SIP)/Autonomous driving system project and examines the issues of the so-called Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) automated driving system, which is considered to be a promising next-generation transport system for urban areas. This article describes the docking control project, which aims to clarify basic control issues related to sensing, steering linkage, integrated control with the brakes, and so on. These items are being researched and development to realize docking maneuvering technology with excellent functionality.
