Automatic Perpendicular and Diagonal Unparking Using a Multi-Sensor-Based Control Approach

Abstract

This paper explores the feasibility of a Multi-Sensor-Based Control (MSBC) approach for addressing forward nonparallel (perpendicular and diagonal) unparking problems of car-like vehicles as an alternative to classical approaches (e.g. path planning based, etc.). The results of individual cases are presented to illustrate the behavior and performance of the proposed approach as well as results from exhaustive simulations to evaluate the convergence and stability. The results presented in this work increase the versatility and validity of our MSBC approach towards a fully autonomous parking system.
