Design and Implementation of an Autonomous Driving System with a Deep Learning Approach on a Scaled Vehicle Platform
Abstract
The thesis project is developed to create a platform for autonomous driving research and education purposes. The main goal of this study is to present a complete and adequate way for building a platform with a drive-by-wire system and sensor packages that are both comprehensive and appropriate for testing and deploying machine-learning-based algorithms on a scaled vehicle. The vehicle platform addresses reproducibility issues, onboard processing capability restrictions, vehicle scale, and system cost with the existing related vehicle platforms. Our vehicle platform system integrates both drives-by-wire and an autonomous system enabled with sensor packages in an easy-to-implement format. The platform is a generic and multilevel system, with flight controller programs combined with a GPS module handling the mid to high-level motor controls and a laptop powered by a graphics processing unit (GPU) capable of handling the advanced and more complex algorithms. The vehicle platform is validated by employing it in a deep-learning-based behavioral cloning study. The platform's affordability and adaptability would benefit broader research and the education community.
