Synopsis- Capstone ProjectDriverless Electric Vehicle
( 2002-2006)First driverless electric vehicle from India in year 2002-2006 connected to web server through WEAN. Self Driving Vehicle a Lighthouse project of a company. As Chief Architect, spearheaded multilayer sensor fusion architecture, design and development of electronics, firmware, software that perceives its surroundings runs at 15KM/hours speed connected by virtual simulation and user human machine interface to wireless web server guided by image processing algorithms, GPS maps, SONAR, battery power management and intelligent motion controls for auto brake, actuators, navigation, lane & obstacle detection and correction. Prototype demonstrated, displayed to more than 100 fortunes clients’ like- GM, Yazaki, TRW, Denso, Caterpillars, Applied Materials, Honda and others that have helped organization in getting new business in software and embedded areas. Presented paper, virtual demo and case studies on many seminars and exhibitions like in Sensors Expo 2008 at Illinois, USA.Contact : www.in.linkedin.com/in/nareshmalik1 or [email protected]

Self Driving Electric CarMotion Control Hardware - EPAS,Brake Pedal and Main Traction
The EPS unit is a servomechanism that provides assistance through the electronic control of an electric motor. The servomechanism has four main elements: a torque sensor, a motor, a gearbox, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The EPAS and Brake units has been tested for the reliability of software using simulated environment.
Self Driving Electric CarImage Processing technology Tools -Validates the real world apps
Lane Detection
Canny Edge Output
2D Vision Processing - Inverse Perspective Mapping Bridging the gap :Actual Vs Appearance
A two dimensional image may be represented in terms of pixels ( x, y ) x= row , y= column position and it has a gray level f( x, y ). Then any pixel for which f (x, y)> T is called an object point otherwise background point
Application of Validation tools : Vehicle guidance, curvature predication and Obstacle detection
Self Driving Electric CarSelf Driving thru HMI and Viewing Real time Lane departure
Image processing helps to estimate the world points of lane after grabbing the image using CCD camera and frame grabber & DSP processor. Image processing tool helps in validating and deciding appropriate image processing algorithms for lane following and road sign location.
