Improvement of ACTT that is Autonomous Driving Technologies Support Platform for Education and Research

Abstract

In recent years, the development of autonomous driving technologies has been very active in the world. However, the shortage of human resources is a serious problem. Therefore, in Japan, the autonomous driving IT human resources strategy has been proposed. Although, the problem of shortage cannot be solved because it is aimed at the excellent top personnel. In order to solve the problem, the authors are developing a platform that contributes to the realization of the problem. In this paper, the authors report on the improvement of ACTT, which is an autonomous driving assistance platform developed in the past study. Previous ACTT had complex configurations. Therefore, the authors improved them and conducted evaluation experiments as a new. In addition, in order to implement automatic driving technologies, ROS package “Navigation Stack” has been implemented in the simulator. In the future, the authors will implement it into current ACTT to complete the platform.
