Summary: | Platooning system is a type of cooperative driving system where several vehicles are aligned to form a chain of vehicles just like a train form. In this project, an unguided system of platooning is designed, where a manually controlled leader vehicle is guiding the following vehicle that is moving autonomously. Object tracking is one of the features in platooning. In order to perform object tracking, advanced sensors are usually used in platooning for example laser range finder, camera and GPS. Advanced sensors are usually used because they can handle complex situations for example on the road or highway. However, if the sensors are used for a smaller and simple layout such as in a building, they appear to be high in expenditure. Hence, this paper serves to describe the use of simple and low-cost passive sensors to replace the advanced sensors in developing an object-tracking system which is more appropriate for educational purpose. Integrating simple sensors in object-tracking may not produce excellent results as compared to advanced sensors but with an appropriate algorithm, it is hoped that at least simple leader/follower behaviour could be demonstrated. |
