Autonomy for Mobility on Demand

  • Chapter
Intelligent Autonomous Systems 12

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 193))

Abstract

We describe the development of our autonomous personal vehicle that attempts to provide mobility on demand service to address the first- and last-mile problem. We discuss the challenges faced for such a system in a campus environment and discuss our approach towards mitigating them. The autonomous vehicle has operated over 30km of autonomous operation in a campus environment interacting with pedestrian and human driven vehicles.
