Driving Simulator Based Route Tracing Simulation for Automatic Driving

This paper examines automatic driving based on magnetic marker navigation. Automatic driving was simulated in laboratory. The research focuses on driving simulator based automated driving simulator and vision system. Magnetic markers were placed on road centerline as the object path. PID and NN control maneuvers were adopted in route tracing. According to the result of experiments with different control maneuvers, control is smooth on straight road and vehicles could quickly come back to the object path from deviated line by adopting auto-tuning PID control maneuver. However, the control accuracy was not ideal on optimal route; by adopting Feedforward NN control maneuver, lateral deflection tends to be emanative and self-rectification is weak.
