Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    ALX : Autonomous Vehicle Guidance for Roadway Following and Obstacle Avoidance
    (Minnesota Department of Transportation, 1996-10) Du, Yu-feng; Schiller, William; Krantz, Don; Shankwitz, Craig; Donath, Max
    This report presents results of the research performed on the Autonomous Land Experimental Vehicle (ALX) at the University of Minnesota. ALX autonomously follows roadways through the use of visual perception, and executes obstacle detection and collision avoidance through the use of ultrasonic sonar range sensors. This report describes the ALX embedded real-time control system based on a multi-processor, multi-tasking architecture, and presents algorithms used for visual perception, path tracking, position estimation, obstacle detection, and collision avoidance. Computer simulation and experimental results also are presented.
