Abstract
The final project report for the SmartShuttle sub-project of the Ohio State University is presented in this report. This has been a two year project where the unified, scalable and replicable automated driving architecture introduced by the Automated Driving Lab of the Ohio State University has been further developed, replicated in different vehicles and scaled between different vehicle sizes. A limited scale demonstration was also conducted during the first year of the project. The architecture used was further developed in the second project year including parameter space based low level controller design, perception methods and data collection. Perception sensor and other relevant vehicle data were collected in the second project year. Our approach changed to using soft AVs in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment for proof-of-concept testing. Our second year work also had a change of localization from GPS and lidar based SLAM to GPS and map matching using a previously constructed lidar map in a geo-fenced area. An example lidar map was also created. Perception sensor and other collected data and an example lidar map are shared as datasets as further outcomes of the project.
