Topics
Motivation The experimental vehicles Sensors Navigation and control Autonomous cars are green cars
The past of transportation
The Great Horse-Manure Crisis In New York in 1900, the population of 100,000 horses produced 2.5 million pounds of horse manure per day
Automobile 1900
Green Cars: The End of Cheap Oil
The future of transportation

III Sensors
- GPS and IMU Navigation
- Laser scanners – two dimensional
- 3D Laser scanner
- Video Cameras
GPS Positioning
- IMU: Inertial Measurement Unit generates a true
representation of vehicle motion in all three axes
Differential GPS in Germany
Ibeo Laser Scanner
200 meter range

One important city feature: trees, poles
III Computer Vision
Interior / Front Cameras
Automatic Sensor Calibration
Object recognition
AdaBoost Stereo Traffic lights (Video)
Traffic Lights are Recognized
Control
- Simulator for vehicle dynamics
- High-level navigation planner
- Low-level reactive control
Traffic rules are followed
Pedestrians are Detected

Route Network Definition File (RNDF)
- Street Segments
– GPS-Points – Lane width – Maximum speed
- Crossings
– Entry-Exit pairs – Stop signs – Traffic lights

AutoNOMOS – Macroplan (KN)
- Macroplan: BFS in
a graph
- Limited depth of
plan (150 m)
- Microplan for each
segment

Microplan (KN)
- Next few meters
(50m)
- Attached to lane spline
- Evaluation function selects

AutoNOMOS – Evaluation function
Weighted sum of:
– non-collision [0,1] – Distance to checkpoint – time (t =s/v) – Curvature (1/r) – Maneuver value – heuristics
