Abstract

This paper describes the realization of a model truck which fully autonomously follows another vehicle using stereo vision. In addition to the pair of cameras needed, a set of further sensors for measuring speed, steering angle, and avoiding collisions are used. For communication and task execution/synchronization, a time-triggered architecture is used. All necessary equipment, together with power supply for thirty minutes of operation, has been installed on a model truck of about 40 cm length.
