Team Status Update 3/7/20 – Team A1: Cooperative vs Non-cooperative Autonomous Driving

Design Report
- Finalized design report by clarifying design specifications such as tradeoffs, alternatives, metrics, etc.
- Organized what has been done and what still needs implementing/testing
Accomplishments
- Finalized path planning models/algorithms for cars (i.e. Intelligent Driver Model)
- From the construction of the car, figured out steering mechanism and movement control of vehicles
- Successfully constructed vehicle to move without glitches or power issues
- Tested communication latency between server to client (NodeMCU)
- Able to control one vehicle’s motors through Python server
TODO
- After parts come in, construct other vehicles and test communication across multiple vehicles
- Test latency between interaction with multiple clients
- Test path planning algorithms on cars for movement and speed
- Test camera detection on multiple vehicles running with tags
- Implement digital simulation of cars
