Abstract :
The PICAR platform is an electrical car including an embedded electronics system. The generic goal is to design an embedded multi sensor plat-form for automotive application such as collision avoidance. Therefore the system includes classical sensors like video camera and ultrasonic sensors, a PC bi-processors, a CAN network and dedicated software for signal and image processing, data fusion and decision system. This plat-form allows experimenting customized sensors and specific architectures dedicated to fusion systems and data processing. The target scenarios are collision avoidance system, automatic parking, and lateral control application on a road lane.
