Backing up a Truck in Real-Time

چکیده
Autonomous vehicles are a new and exciting challenge for the automation of transport systems. The scope of applications covers heavy traffic control from construction sites, fork-lifting trucks in factories, switcher locomotives in stations and so on. This article refers to the problem of backing up a model-truck with a trailer to a ramp. The concrete solution to this problem requires the integration of various software components on the model-truck based on dedicated algorithms for finding an adequate route and for driveand steering-control along this route in real-time. Additionally various security aspects have to be considered to make the system applicable under real world conditions.

Backing-up Fuzzy Control of a Truck-trailer Equipped with a Kingpin Sliding Mechanism
For articulated vehicles met in robotics and transportation fields, even for an experienced operator, backing-up leads usually to jack-knifing. This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for back-driving a truck-trailer vehicle into a predefined parking task. The truck-trailer link system is equipped with a kingpin sliding mechanism acting as an anti-jackknife excitation input. By applying fu...

متن کاملEvolving Nonlinear Controllers for Backing up a Truck-and-Trailer Using Evolutionary Programming
This paper develops control laws for backing up a simulated truck-and-trailer to a loading dock in a parking lot. Evolutionary programming (EP) with a set of mutation operators is used to automatically generate optimal control laws. EP produces an optimal nonlinear control strategy that takes the state variables as inputs and determines the direction and angle by which the truck’s front wheels ...
متن کاملAdaptive fuzzy systems for backing up a truck-and-trailer
Fuzzy control systems and neural-network control systems for backing up a simulated truck, and truck-and-trailer, to a loading dock in a parking lot are presented. The supervised backpropagation learning algorithm trained the neural network systems. The robustness of the neural systems was tested by removing random subsets of training data in learning sequences. The neural systems performed wel...
متن کاملAcquisition and Utilization of Real-Time District-Wide Truck Traffic Volume Data from Single Loop Detectors
We deployed a recently proposed single loop detector based, real-time freeway truck traffic volume estimation algorithm to a County-level traffic database. The scale-up of the algorithm is achieved by adding an extra layer, consisting of a spatial filtering component for removing noise and an aggregation component for efficient analysis. All calculations could be done in real-time to produce a ...
