  • An Off-Road Autonomous Vehicle for DARPA's Grand Challenge
    2005 Journal of Field Robotics Special Issue on the DARPA Grand Challenge MITRE Meteor: An Off-Road Autonomous Vehicle for DARPA’s Grand Challenge Robert Grabowski, Richard Weatherly, Robert Bolling, David Seidel, Michael Shadid, and Ann Jones. The MITRE Corporation 7525 Colshire Drive McLean VA, 22102 [email protected] Abstract The MITRE Meteor team fielded an autonomous vehicle that competed in DARPA’s 2005 Grand Challenge race. This paper describes the team’s approach to building its robotic vehicle, the vehicle and components that let the vehicle see and act, and the computer software that made the vehicle autonomous. It presents how the team prepared for the race and how their vehicle performed. 1 Introduction In 2004, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) challenged developers of autonomous ground vehicles to build machines that could complete a 132-mile, off-road course. Figure 1: The MITRE Meteor starting the finals of the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. 2005 Journal of Field Robotics Special Issue on the DARPA Grand Challenge 195 teams applied – only 23 qualified to compete. Qualification included demonstrations to DARPA and a ten-day National Qualifying Event (NQE) in California. The race took place on October 8 and 9, 2005 in the Mojave Desert over a course containing gravel roads, dirt paths, switchbacks, open desert, dry lakebeds, mountain passes, and tunnels. The MITRE Corporation decided to compete in the Grand Challenge in September 2004 by sponsoring the Meteor team. They believed that MITRE’s work programs and military sponsors would benefit from an understanding of the technologies that contribute to the DARPA Grand Challenge.

Rainwater can be an asset or a liability depending on the approach to dealing with runoff. Since all three plans protected site watercourses and included stormwater management (SWM) ponds as a requirement, the evaluation criteria did not include rainwater runoff impacts. Current research shows that runoff from development can be detrimental to water quality, aquatic life and the maintenance of Figure 1 An experimental site plan layout using medium water resources.

Nagoya, Japan Corresponding author: Ekim Yurtsever (e-mail: [email protected]). ABSTRACT Automated driving systems (ADSs) promise a safe, comfortable and efficient driving experience. However, fatalities involving vehicles equipped with ADSs are on the rise. The full potential of ADSs cannot be realized unless the robustness of state-of-the-art is improved further. This paper discusses unsolved problems and surveys the technical aspect of automated driving. Studies regarding present challenges, high- level system architectures, emerging methodologies and core functions including localization, mapping, perception, planning, and human machine interfaces, were thoroughly reviewed. Furthermore, many state- of-the-art algorithms were implemented and compared on our own platform in a real-world driving setting. The paper concludes with an overview of available datasets and tools for ADS development.

Received: 23 April 2020; Accepted: 18 May 2020; Published: 20 May 2020 Abstract: In recent years, the self-driving car technologies have been developed with many successful stories in both academia and industry. The challenge for autonomous vehicles is the requirement of operating accurately and robustly in the urban environment. This paper focuses on how to efficiently solve the hierarchical control system of a self-driving car into practice. This technique is composed of decision making, local path planning and control. An ego vehicle is navigated by global path planning with the aid of a High Definition map. Firstly, we propose the decision making for motion planning by applying a two-stage Finite State Machine to manipulate mission planning and control states. Furthermore, we implement a real-time hybrid A* algorithm with an occupancy grid map to find an efficient route for obstacle avoidance. Secondly, the local path planning is conducted to generate a safe and comfortable trajectory in unstructured scenarios. Herein, we solve an optimization problem with nonlinear constraints to optimize the sum of jerks for a smooth drive. In addition, controllers are designed by using the pure pursuit algorithm and the scheduled feedforward PI controller for lateral and longitudinal direction, respectively.

    MEMORANDUM Date: July 10, 2009 TG: 08164.00 To: Terry Moore, ECONorthwest From: Andrew Mortensen, Transpo Group cc: Subject: Street and Non-Motorized Connectivity This memorandum provides context to the subject matter of street and non-motorized system connectivity. It was originally written as a broad summary for application in various transportation planning studies. It has been modified slightly for better summary of concepts critical to the transportation plan and policy subject matter considered in the Motorized and Non-Motorized Travel Reports as part of the Olympia Mobility Strategy project. The memorandum includes four major sections: 1. Introduction 2. Importance of Connectivity 3. Barriers to Connectivity 4. Travel Impacts Associated with Connectivity 5. Implementing Connectivity Introduction In the early 1960’s a federally driven process was initiated to establish the first set of consistent, street functional classification plans for U.S. cities. These plans and policies were updated and revised in the 1970’s as Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) were formed to assist in regional transportation planning. Most regional and many local roadway and street functional classification policies originated from the FHWA Functional Classification guidelines1. As noted in the FHWA guideline for urban streets and shown in Figure 1, collectors are mapped on an internal, 1-mile grid to essentially provide ½ or 1/3-mile connection between local streets and the perimeter arterials, Figure 1: FHWA Scheme which form the grid boundary. FHWA’s original ‘scheme” does not indicate nor did the underlying policy direction emphasize external continuity of collector and local street connectors beyond the arterial-bound grid. Since the 1960s, and up until the 1990s, many cities have favored a land development pattern and street hierarchical network of poor connectivity, with numerous cul-de-sacs that connect to a few major arterials.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.
