The MIMICS project: an application for intelligent transport systems

This paper shows an ITS application developed using a framework for developing mobile robot applications. the Thinking Cap-II architecture. This framework consists of a series of modules and services developed in Java and allows the distribution of these modules over a network. A two cars convoy application has been implemented using this architecture and the Satant autonomous vehicle. This vehicle incorporates a two layer hardware architecture that provides both modularity and flexibility. Finally some experiments are presented. both in simulated and real world environments.
