Abstract :
This is a very ambitious book that provides a fresh look in the field of intelligent vehicles, focusing mainly on basic autonomous control and feedback for stopping and steering ground vehicles. Throughout the text, examples are provided from the numerous vehicles developed by the authors and their experience from participating in many national and international projects, challenges and demonstration events. The book covers sensors and sensor fusion to percept vehicle motion and surrounding objects and present how an autonomous vehicle is an unmanned vehicle that can fulfill the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car and can also sense its environment and navigate on its own. This book is a must-read title for scientists, researchers and practitioners in the field of Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation.
