We propose a novel algorithm capable of recognizing the road lane by image processing. Considering the fact that the direction and location of road lane are maintained similarly in successive images we formulate a function to represent the property. However, as noises play the role of making a lot of similar patterns appear and disappear in the road image, keeping of robustness in the lane detection has been known a difficult work. To overcome this problem, we introduce the following three ideas: 1) design of a function based on an edge direction and magnitude, 2) construction of a recursive filter to estimate the function recursively for successive images, 3) principal axis-based line fitting. These concepts enhance the adaptability to cope with the random environment of traffic scene and eventually lead to the reliable detection of a road lane.

Autonomous driving vehicle research demands complex road and lane understanding such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and centering, lane change and turn assist, and driving under complex road conditions. A fast and robust road lane detection subsystem is a basic but important building block for this type of research. In this paper, we propose a method that performs road lane detection from black box input. The proposed system applies Random Sample Consensus to find the best model of road lanes passing through divided regions of the input image under HSV color model. HSV color model is chosen since it explicitly separates chromaticity and luminosity and the narrower hue distribution greatly assists in later segmentation of the frames by limiting color saturation. The implemented method was successful in lane detection on real world on-board testing, exhibiting 86.21% accuracy with 4.3% standard deviation in real time.

소형드론의 상용화를 위해서는 안전성과 자율운행기능의 확보가 필수적이다. 최근 드론제작이 상당히 용이해졌으나, 여전히 안정적인 드론의 제작은 쉽지 않다. 따라서 자체드론제작 필요성은 영상이나 자율이동 등 상위 알고리즘의 연구에 큰 장애요소로 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 상용드론과 Raspberry PI, 및 오픈소스를 활용하여, 쿼드로터 드론의 자율운행기술 개발 중 영상기반 자율운행을 설계해볼 수 있는 지상원격제어시스템(GCS)을 설계하고 구현하였다. 설계한 시스템은 모듈화된 구성으로 통신, UI 및 영상처리 모듈로 구성하였고, 특히 주행선유지 알고리즘을 구현하여 기능 및 성능 실험을 하였다. 설계한 주행선유지 알고리즘은 Hough 변환에 의하여 검출된 차선을 소실점 검출과 자제적인 라인트래킹 알고리즘을 개발하여 사용하여 인식오류를 줄였으며, 주행선과 드론의 진행방향을 계산하고 방향 (전진, 정지, 좌우회전)제어하였다. 구현된 시스템은 현재 100m육상트랙의 직선과 완만한 곡선을 2-3 m/s로 주행할 수 있다.

In this paper, we develop a sliding mode control for steering wheel angle control based on torque overlay in order to resolve the problem of previous methods for Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems in the Lane Keeping System (LKS) of autonomous vehicles. For the controller design, we propose a 2nd order model of the electric power steering system in an autonomous LKS. The desired state model is designed to prevent a rapid change of the steering wheel angle. The sliding mode steering wheel angle controller is developed for the robustness of the disturbance. Since the proposed method is designed based on torque overlay, torque integration with basic functions of the EPS system for the steering wheel angle control is available for the driver's convenience. The performance of the proposed method was validated via experiments.

Adaptive neural networks based lateral controller is presented to guarantee path following performance for vehicle lane keeping in the presence of parameter time-varying characteristics of the vehicle lateral dynamics due to the road surface condition, load distribution, tire pressure and so on. The proposed adaptive controller could compensate vehicle lateral dynamics deviated from nominal dynamics resulting from parameter variations by incorporating it with neural networks that have the ability to approximate any given nonlinear function by adjusting weighting matrices. The controller is derived by using Lyapunov-based approach, which provides adaptive update rules for weighting matrices of neural networks. To show the superiority of the presented adaptive neural networks controller, the simulation results are given while comparing with backstepping controller chosen as the baseline controller. According to the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed controller can effectively keep the vehicle tracking the pre-given trajectory in high velocity and curvature with much accuracy under parameter variations.

The objective of this research is to monitor and control the vehicle motion in order to remove out the existing safety risk based upon the human-machine cooperative vehicle control. A new control method is proposed to control the steering wheel of the vehicle to keep the lane. Desired angle of the steering wheel to control the vehicle motion could be calculated based upon vehicle dynamics, current and estimated pose of the vehicle every sample steps. The vehicle pose and the road curvature were calculated by geometrically fusing sensor data from camera image, tachometer and steering wheel encoder though the Perception Net, where not only the state variables, but also the corresponding uncertainties were propagated in ...

In recent days, vehicles have become equipped with electric systems that assist and help drivers driving safe by reducing possible accidents. LDWS(Lane Departure Warning System) and LKAS(Lane Keeping Assistant System) are involved in assist systems, especially for lateral motion of vehicles. Sudden and inattentive lateral motion of vehicles due to drivers' fatigue, illness, inattention, and drowsiness are major causes of accidents in highway. LDWS and LKAS provide drivers with warnings or assisting power to reduce any possibilities of accidents. In order to prevent or minimize the possibilities of accidents, lateral motion control of vehicles has been introduced in this research. DGPS/RTK(Differential Global Positioning System/Real Time Kinematics) and GIS(Geographic Information System) have been used to obtain the current position of vehicles and decide when activate controlling lateral motion of vehicles. The presented lateral motion control has been validated with actual vehicle tests.

첨단 운전자 보조시스템(ADAS, Advanced Driver Assist System)의 주요 기술에는 적응형 순항 제어(ACC, Advanced Cruise Control), 주행 조향보조 시스템(LKAS, Lane Keeping Assist System), 자동 긴급제동 시스템(AEB, Autonomous Emergency Braking) 등이 있다. ADAS 중 LKAS는 카메라(camera)와 적외선 센서(sensor)를 사용하여 운전자가 의도하지 않은 차선이탈이 발생하였을 때, 조향 보조장치를 제어하여 주행 차선으로 복귀하는 시스템이다. 이러한 시스템의 안전성 평가와 검증을 위해 실차시험을 진행한다. 그러나 LKAS 동작 후 임의의 추가 조향각이 인가될 경우에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 선행연구에서 제안한 시나리오에 대해 Prescan을 이용하여 추가 조향각 인가 모델링(modeling)기법을 개발하고 시뮬레이션(simulation) 하고, 실차시험을 통해 취득한 데이터(data)와의 비교분석으로 모델링 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 최대 거리오차는 0.56 m이며, 시뮬레이션과 실차시험의 차선 복귀 속도의 차이로 인해 발생하였다. 시뮬레이션과 달리 실차시험은 주행 차선으로 복귀 속도가 느려 이탈하는 차의 횡방향 변화가 상대적으로 적어 시뮬레이션과 오차가 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 시뮬레이션과 실차시험 값의 비교분석 결과 차선복귀 속도 차이는 있지만 앞바퀴부터 차선까지 거리가 약 0.5m로 수렴하는 경향성을 나타내어 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The most important part in automated transport systems is steering control for lane keeping Most of systems developed so far have used the visual information for steering control. In this study, the steering control algorithm based on visual servoing has been developed and tested by applying it on Radio Controlled(R/C) model car equipped with one CCD camera. We also demonstrated the feasibility of using it as a pre-test car before the real car experiment in developing automated vehicles. In order to solve the problem of the limited spave and load of a model car, remote-brained approach has been taken. For steering control of a model car, the PD controller which uses the look ahead offset to generate control input has been implemented and the characteristics of the controller has been explained in view of kinematics. Some experimental results have been also illustrated so as to show the control performance and stability.

The unmanned vehicle is composed of three parts the front & side sensor system for keeping the lane and avoiding obstacles, the acceleration & brake control system for longitudinal motion control, and the steering control system for the lateral motion control. Each system helps the unmanned vehicle of which should take notice of its location and recognize obstacles around the place by itself and make a decision how much fast to proceed according to circumstances. During the operation, the control strategy that the vehicle can detect obstacles and avoid collision on the road involves with vehicle velocity very much. Therefore, We have to define a traction system which is powered by DC motor so that, unmanned vehicle can control its velocity accurately. In this study, we find mechanical and ...
