Abstract :
Research into self driving vehicles and driver monitoring systems has reached the point where long duration and distance field testing has become feasible. However, vehicle and computer systems which provide the functionality to accomplish these tests have been too expensive or inconvenient. This paper describes a simple, yet powerful platform, designed to work on any passenger vehicle, developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The platform, called PANS (Portable Advanced Navigation Support), has allowed researchers at Carnegie Mellon University to log over 6000 autonomous steering miles in the last 6 months
