Lateral control of obstacle avoidance for an autonomous vehicle with laser scanner

This paper describes the development of the obstacle sensing and collision avoidance for Adaptive Cruises Control(ACC) system with an automated vehicle using the laser scanner and RTK - DGPS(Real Time Kinematic - Differential Global Positioning System) system for autonomous navigation. The real scale vehicle for experiment is constructed using RTK-DGPS and laser scanner. Laser scanner is detects the obstacle of the vehicle front. The controller applies to RTK-DGPS and laser scanner based real scale autonomous vehicle, and the performance of the controller and the results of experiments are suggested.
