Description
The desirability of developing an autonomous vehicle and the rising demand for efficient use of energy in automobiles motivate the research on optimum solution to computer control of energy efficient vehicles. This thesis work describes three control methods - mechanical, hydraulic and electric that have been used to convert an electric vehicle into a ‘drive by wire’ vehicle using computer control. It also describes a vehicle tracking system used to track the route taken by the vehicle. Computer interfacing and control of basic automobile operations like steering, braking and speed have been implemented and will be described in detail in various chapters. A computer system with a joystick and a Galil three axis motion controller are used for this purpose. The motion controller is interfaced with a computer software program on the input side and with actual hardware (speed motors, steering system, and braking system) on the output side. WSDK (Windows Servo Design Kit) serves as an intermediate tuning layer between the motion controller and the computer program for tuning and parameter settings. The software program for this is developed in C#.NET. Voltage signals sent to the motion controller can be varied through the software program to control the steering motor, activate the hydraulic brakes and vary the vehicle’s speed. This vehicle is now available as a test bed for research work on various autonomous operations and has been configured for its basic functionality including street legal operations. A 1000 mile test while running in a hybrid mode has also been conducted successfully. The vehicle was also tested in computer control mode with a keyboard and joystick as input devices. Currently the vehicle is being tested in various safety studies and is being also used as a test bed for experiments in control courses and research studies. The significance of this research work lies in providing a test resource for autonomous operations, for disabled mobility studies and for greater understanding of conventional driving controls.
