1 Abstract:
With the fast development, Internet technology has become a game-
changer to the automotive industry. The advances and general appli-
cations of high-precision maps make it possible for accurate real-time
positioning of vehicles. Meanwhile, the extensive applications of in-
telligent driving technology make it easier and more intelligent to
drive vehicles.The paper proposes a self-driving car model also called
autonomous, robotic or driver-less car is one that operates and nav-
igates using its intelligence. The basic idea behind the paper is to
develop a 1/10 scale RC car to portray an automated car. The model
consists of the following software and hardware components such as
CNN (Convolutional neural network), Monocular vision algorithm,
Haar cascade classifier, Raspberry Pi Board model B+, Pi camera,
Arduino, and an Ultrasonic sensor. The Pi camera and ultrasonic
sensor are attached to the raspberry pi board to collect input images
along with sensor data to stream these data to the server which in
our case is the laptop. The (CNN) convolutional neural network run-
ning on the server will be used to enable lane detection to provide
steering predictions that are left, right, forward based on the input
image. The haar cascade classifier will be used to detect signals and
stop sign and monocular vision algorithms to calculate distance from
them. The ultrasonic sensor will be used for front collision avoidance
by stopping the car at a certain distance before the obstacle ahead.
The navigation commands such as right, left, forward, stop will be
sent to the car through Arduino which is connected to the RC car’s
remote, this will make the car drive autonomously based on neural
network predictions and some hard coded rules. Thus this model will
enable autonomous driving by self-navigation via lane detection, stop-
ping at detection of stop signs, red lights and moving on green signal
and front collision avoidance in a cost-effective manner. Hardcoded
rules, obstacle avoidance mechanisms, machine learning models, and
smart object discrimination will help the system follow traffic rules
and navigate the car using artificial intelligence.
