| Abstract | In this research, auto pilot concept is carried out on Mitsubishi gallant GLSi 2000 with the aid of GPS and electronic compass as main sensor devices. Conventional cruise control system is used to maintain constant velocity while vehicle is moving. To minimize the input measurement error and noise, low pass filtering method is used to adjust the error. Visual studio 2010 C# platform is used to control the vehicle in high level and Arduino mega microcontroller used to control the steering wheel do navigate with ARM cortex-A7
board used to the cruise control system. Novatel OEM-4 GPS system used to get the
current coordinates and Honeywell HMR-3000 electronic compass is used to get the
current heading of the car with respect to true north. Filtered data of GPS coordinates input to main C# program and using the next considered way point program will calculate the distance and the angle to the next way point. This angle is also respect to the true north. So the difference of this angles give out the error/ set point (for steering wheel PID controller) to Arduino mega to turn the steering wheel |
