Abstract

ITSC 2011 : International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, WASHINGTON, ETATS-UNIS, 05-/10/2011 - 07/10/2011; This paper presents the implementation of a highly automated driving system on automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs). It integrates a perception component, which uses the combination of high-level sensors to map the environment, a co-pilot, which finds an optimal trajectory in this environment and a control component, which guides the vehicle on this trajectory. The cooperation between human and automation is managed by the driving Mode Selection and arbitration Unit (MSU) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) components. The co-pilot and control components have been implemented on AUTOSAR-based ECUs, the other components in the RTMaps environment on a standard PC. It has been first been tested on the simulation tool SiVIC and was then transferred to a physical vehicle on test track.
