AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLE K. Sri Varsha, K. Chandra Mouli, D. Sethu Chandana, D. Noel Suhas Raj ------------------------------------------------------------------------***-----------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract- Autonomous vehicles are the future smart cars and avoid accidents. Many car manufacturing companies have
already started this revolution of manufacturing autonomous vehicles. Major companies like Tesla, Waymo, Nissan, Nvidia, and UBER are upgrading their versions of autonomous vehicles to capture the market demand. Nowadays the prices of fuels like petrol, diesel, and gas, are increasing rapidly day by day. To overcome this situation we use electric charge as the fuel to the vehicle. As electric charge is quite cheaper than other fuels that we are using these days. The vehicle can be provided in-built charging port.
anticipated to be efficient and crash-avoiding ideal urban vehicles of the future. The purpose of this project is to build a vehicle that can move with and without any driver. It only requires a command from the user, and then starts moving towards the destination. This project aims to build an autonomous vehicle prototype using a Raspberry Pi processor. Sensor interfacing provides the necessary data from the real world to a vehicle. The vehicle can reach a given destination safely and intelligently thereby avoiding the risk of human errors. Many existing algorithms, such as traffic light detection, obstacle detection, and speed control are combined to provide necessary control to the car. The technology that autonomous vehicles and “connected vehicles” use would allow vehicles to communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as traffic lights and road congestion, and then use this information to significantly curtail fuel consumption and emissions.
The following are important topics of this paper:
Lane Detection: The designed vehicle can detect the lane or
road by using the Raspberry Pi camera connected to the Raspberry Pi module.
Obstacle Detection: The designed vehicle can detect the obstacle at a certain distance from the vehicle and overcome the obstacle by moving either left or right.
Keywords: Speed control, Human Input, Human error, Obstacle detection.
Traffic Signal Response: The designed vehicle can respond to traffic signals whether the signal light is green or red.
Introduction
Battery Management: The designed vehicle reminds the
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report published in June 2022, approximately 1.3 million people die yearly from road traffic accidents. As a human driver, it is hard to remain in the correct lane and to keep following the proper gap with the front vehicle, as the driver needs to focus on the road for an extended time. Moreover, humans are prone to driver fatigue, sleepiness, inattention, and drowsiness. Besides that, using technologies in vehicles such as smartphones, entertainment, and navigation systems may interrupt the driver and compromise safety while driving. Therefore, the costs of road traffic accidents to society are expensive in terms of human injury and economic loss. The development of passive and active safety systems for automobiles has resulted from the concern mentioned above. Seat belts and airbags are examples of passive safety systems These were developed to decrease the risk of injury to the driver and passenger from the impact of accidents. These systems have become the standard safety gear for vehicles but are only utilized after accidents occur, but it would be far better if the casualties were entirely prevented. As a result, active safety technologies are becoming a talking point among automakers and researchers. The evolution of autonomous cars started in Europe around 1986.
