This paper introduces the autonomous vehicle Pharos, which participated in the 2010 Autonomous Vehicle Competition organized by Hyundai-Kia motors. Pharos was developed for high-speed on/off-road unmanned driving avoiding diverse patterns of obstacles. For the high speed traveling up to 60 Km/h, long range terrain perception, real-time path planning and high speed vehicle motion control algorit...

Abstract Autonomous driving will not just change vehicles themselves, but also the entire concept of mobility. New business models and expansion individual mobility to new groups society are merely examples possible impact. In order create optimal for technologies right from start, vehicle optimization helps find suitable solutions numerous variations. The package as part a is currently focused...

A new approach is suggested to define and evaluate key metrics as to autonomous aerial vehicle performance. This approach entails the conceptual definition of a “Turing Test” for UAVs. Such a “UAV Turing test” would be conducted by means of mission simulations and/or tailored flight demonstrations of vehicles under the guidance of their autonomous system software. These autonomous vehicle missi...

This paper addresses a problem of autonomous parking a nonholonomic (car-like) vehicle. This research work is carried out within the framework of the PRAXITELE project which aims to develop a future-oriented urban transportation system based on a eet of electric computer-driven vehicles. At the present stage of the project, the designed vehicles have been equiped for the computer-driven motion ...
