Developing a Self-Driving Vehicle
PAGE 30 TONGJI UNIVERSITY Required Required No Driver Thanks to advances in the development of intelligent drive technology, the time is coming closer when self-driving vehicles will be a part of everyday road traffi c. With the help of dSPACE MicroAutoBox, a group of researchers at School of Automotive Studies, Tongji University, China, developed an elec- tric prototype vehicle that can already drive by itself on the university campus. Developing a Self-Driving VehiclePAGE 31 The vehicle prototype designed by Tongji University can already drive on its own around the university campus. Vehicle Control via MicroAutoBox The electric prototype vehicle de- veloped by the research team at Tongji University is based on four wheel hub motors with a 140-volt lithium battery. Th
