The aim of this research was to develop a system to perform this manoeuvre autonomously, requiring no driver input at all. The stages of this development were analysis of the kinematics of vehicles, the design of a simulator and prototype robot to demonstrate parking and the development of parking algorithms to achieve reverse- parallel parking at or above the standard of the learner drivers' logbook. Equations were derived to describe the motion of a vehicle. These were tested in a flexible Matlab simulation. A remote control car was modified to be controlled via command line inputs or uploaded control law. A complete and successful set of laws has been documented and used to demonstrate the prototype robot in a parking scenario. The final algorithms were able to successfully park the vehicle utilising only an ultrasonic sensor and encoders on the rear wheels. Calculations and parking are performed in real-time, taking substantially less time than a human driver would. This was only possible due to development of a highly optimised transform to analyse the sensor data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rogan Shimmin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639176073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639176070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Rogan Shimmin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454055690495,"sku":"9783639176070","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4339a81e-23d1-4057-a9e5-e26186b6d464.jpg?v=1777303920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/street-parking-for-cars-rogan-shimmin-9783639176070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
