Abstract

Cars capable of driving in urban environments autonomously are today one of the most challenging topics in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) field. This paper deals with the evolution of Clavileño -a gas propelled vehicle-in its automation process towards a fully autonomous car driving in a real word. So, the required modifications for a mass-produced car in order to equip it with automatic driving capabilities; the on-board sensor systems to analyze the environment; the autonomous guidance system as well as the cooperative maneuvers implemented and the local evaluation system are presented. The system has been tested in a controlled area with other vehicles in several experiments with good results.
