Streszczenie
RoboCar is an open-source research platform for autonomous driving developed at the University of Luxembourg. It provides a modular and cost-effective framework for the development and experimentation of Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS), utilizing a 2018 KIA Soul EV as the base vehicle.
The platform integrates a robust hardware and software architecture that aligns with the vehicle's existing systems, minimizing the need for extensive modifications. It supports various autonomous driving functions and has undergone real-world testing on public roads in Luxembourg City.
The key highlights of RoboCar include:
- Modular and open-source software architecture based on ROS2, enabling easy integration and extensibility.
- Cost-effective hardware platform using commercially available components, making it accessible for research and startup settings.
- Seamless integration with the vehicle's existing systems, reducing the need for specialized engineering skills.
- Experimental validation on public roads, demonstrating basic self-driving capabilities in real-world traffic conditions.
- Availability under an open-source MIT license, encouraging collaborative innovation in autonomous driving research.
The RoboCar platform aims to facilitate and accelerate the development of experimental ADS by offering an easy-to-setup framework with all the relevant modules to test and operate an ADS. It contributes to the global efforts towards next-generation autonomous systems and serves as a valuable tool for academic research and collaborative innovation.
Statystyki
The vehicle has a maximum speed limit of 40 km/h during the public road experiments.
The parameters used for the Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) model are:
d0 = 7.0 m (initial offset distance)
ρ = 0.3 s (reaction time)
amax = 2.5 m/s^2 (maximum acceleration)
βmin = 1.5 m/s^2 (minimum braking)
βmax = 9.0 m/s^2 (maximum braking)
