A trip from Italy to China using autonomous vehicles: behavior and testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes behavior and testing of the vehicles set up by VisLab to cover, in autonomous mode, a long 13.000 km trip from Italy to China, passing through Moscow. The paper, begins with a short description of the hardware and focuses on the vehicle behavior, what kind of situations is able to negotiate and how they are managed. A description of how the system has been tested and how it performs on a test track concludes the paper. The journey started on July 20 from Milan. At the time of writing, the first 10 days of result are positive. A live video demonstration will be shown at the conference talk.

Equipment and Capabilities of the Vehicles for the Vislab Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge
This article summarizes VIAC, the VisLab Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge, a test of autonomous driving from Italy to China using four electric vehicles. The vehicles were equipped with a complete sensorial suite that involved different kinds of sensors like cameras, laser scanners, GPS, and others; they feature autonomous capabilities thanks to a x-by-wire subsystem able to control the st...
متن کاملThe VisLab Intercontinental Autonomous Challenge : 13 , 000 km , 3 months , ... no driver
This document presents a new exciting effort in the intelligent vehicles arena which is going to set a new milestone in the history of vehicular robotics. Autonomous vehicles have been demonstrated able to reach the end of a 220 miles off-road trail (in the DARPA Grand Challenge), to negotiate traffic and obey traffic rules (in the DARPA Urban Challenge), but no one ever tested their capabiliti...
متن کاملModeling and Intelligent Control System Design for Overtaking Maneuver in Autonomous Vehicles
The purpose of this study is to design an intelligent control system to guide the overtaking maneuver with a higher performance than the existing systems. Unlike the existing models which consider constant values for some of the effective variables of this behavior, in this paper, a neural network model is designed based on the real overtaking data using instantaneous values for variables. A fu...
متن کاملInvestigation on Nose and Tail Shape Effects on Hydrodynamic Parameters in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which meets the design constraints and provides the best hydrodynamic performance is really an important challenge in the field of hydrodynamics. In this paper a new profile is used for designing the hull of AUVs. The nose and tail profiles of an AUV using presented profile is designed such that it can properly consider the length constraints...
متن کاملScheduling of Multiple Autonomous Guided Vehicles for an Assembly Line Using Minimum Cost Network Flow
This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
