Design of Autonomous Electric Vehicle Detecting the Roadside Buildings

In this paper, an autonomous electric vehicle is proposed which can detect the roadside buildings and use this data to reach its desired location or destination location. This paper has two major aspects, one of them is self-driving ability of the vehicle and the second one is its object detection ability. But both the aspects are interlinked with each other to control the motion of the vehicle. In this model, infrared sensors are used to sense the roadside barricade. Also, smart vision sensor like Pixy2 camera is used to detect the buildings, traffic signals and signboards. All these things are carried out and controlled by a simple microcontroller board i.e. Arduino Mega 2560. Also, we make a web page and a mobile application for the passengers to select their destination.
