Abstract

This paper presents our approach to TORCS Car Racing Competition 2009, it is based on a complete modular architecture capable of driving automatically a car along a track with or without oppents. The architecture is composed of five simple modules being each one responsible for a basic aspect of car driving. The modules control gear shiftings, steer movements and pedals positions by using of simple functions meanwhile the allowed speed in a certain track segment is managed by a simple TSK fuzzy system.
