Abstract :
The paper describes the development of an electrical model car on a scale of 1:10, which is able to drive autonomously at a race course, to find parking spaces and to use it for autonomous parking. The electronic design is based on a set of C28x Digital Signal Controllers for steering, to control the electrical motor, for image processing and to control ultrasonic distance sensors. As communication backbone a high-speed CAN interface is used. The results presented in this paper are a summary from various student projects between 2006 and 2010.
