Fixed Distance Mobile Robot For Straight Line Application

Abstract

This project describes the Fixed Distance Mobile Robot for Straight Line Application system, which is develop a hardware and software interfacing to maintain the mobile robot at a fixed safe distance from obstacle in front of it. This project is to study on Cruise Control (CC) basic principle and employ a simple basic Cruise Control into mobile robot where only functioning in straight line. In this project, it only focuses on the changes of distance, parameters, and the speed of mobile robot between the movement object in ahead the mobile robot. An implementation of this project studies the system which reduces the driving burden on the driver. The CC system primarily supports four driving modes on the road and controls the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle in order to maintain a set speed or to avoid a crash. The CC system has been developed to assist the driver for driving long distances on highways. The CC can perform only velocity control. The conventional cruise control becomes less useful in the case of traffic congestion. Therefore, it is vital to improve vehicle controls to ensure adequate safety measures in order to decrease the number of accidents or to reduce the impact of accidents. This study is carried out for the detailed understanding of a CC by controlling the fixed safe distance between vehicles and implement to mobile robot for fixed distance in straight line application was achieved.
