Automated Driving

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Autonomous vehicle lab consists of a virtual test drive vehicle setup which helps students to learn creation of detailed road and rail networks with multiple lanes as per requirement, design various types of intersections as well as signaling system by exporting the required data from single source and create 3d models. Students from different disciplines of engineering can learn the configuration, simulation, and customization virtual worlds. Students will gain exposure to various MSC’s tools to face challenges in development and validation of driver assist system to fully autonomous vehicles.

DETAILS

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

This toolkit is an automated, lab based tool useful to create, configure, present and evaluate the virtual environment providing scope for repeatable and realistic like in-lab testing of different road conditions and traffic simulations.Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS),which is an electronic system that the driver to drive and park vehicle, can be developed with by using VTD toolkit. VTD can also be used for developing automated driving systems.
VTD provides scope to generate 3D content, simulate complex traffic scenario, and simulate simplified or physically driven sensors.

VTD SOFTWARE

The data collected from the field is used to design road network and traffic simulations. Road networks are designed using Road Network Editor (ROD) which includes number of lanes, different types of intersections, traffic signs and signals.

ADVANCED DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)

ADAS is an electronic system beneficial from road safety point of view. It helps drivers to drive and park vehicles safely. It uses different electronic technologies like Micro controller units (MCU), Power semiconductor devices and electronic control units to avoid human errors and develop advanced driver assistance system. This technology helps in avoiding vehicle collisions and control road accidents.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Mechatronics system consists of 3 base plates (T-slotted AL-profile plates) which are equipped with the following Mechatronics functional units:
2 Pneumatic Service Units, 2 Magazine Units, Belt Conveyor, Sorting Unit (for material testing and sorting), Handling Unit with vacuum suction, Pneumatic Press, ASRS with rack feeder. The Mechatronics system is controlled by two SIMATIC S7-1516-3 PN/DP programmable logic controllers (PLC) and two SIMATIC TP700 Comfort HMI color touch panels. Both PLCs are connected via ProfiNet. The ProfiBus interface on board the PLCs may be alternatively used to teach and evaluate ProfiBus communication instead ProfiNet.
With little effort the system can be separated mechanically and electrically in two segments. Both controls work independently and each control takes care only of the connected system part. Detailed information regarding the used and above mentioned functional units are available on our web sites. The Mechatronics system is provided fully assembled, programmed, tested and ready to use.
The PLC program is written in SIMATIC STEP 7. All comments within the PLC program are in English, as well as the documentation belonging to the complete system.
