Autonomous Trucks

At a restricted area, such as an open mine pit, one can gain several advantages if the driving can be done autonomously. The aim of this project was to

• develop a simulator for autonomous trucks based on the simulation environment PreScan.
• develop and implement
  • vehicle models
  • planning algorithms
  • mapping algorithms
  • algorithms for estimation of a vehicle’s mass, center of gravity, position, etc
  • controllers for gas, brake and steering
