About This Project & Criteria

"Self-Drifting Cars"

This Project has been proposed because of we want to do something for fun in course "Embedded System 2016" @SSE TGGS KMUTNB, Thailand.

Inspiration :

Here's a video to show that self-driving cars can be self-drifting cars too

But to work on real cars, we don't have much funding then this project we will use RC cars instead of real cars. And this project will not be only a part of self-drifting cars we will have a telemetry system to show a status of our RC cars. e.g, Distance from sensors around the car, Video streaming from cars.

Criteria:

Phase 1 Without Drift

1. Hot Lapse [20%]
1. 3 Lapse within xx seconds. [5%]
1. xx seconds [3%]
2. xx seconds [1%]
3. more than xx seconds [0%]
2. Rules
1. Collision avoidance (Not hit the wall and obstacle) [5%] (each collision -1%)
2. Set speed close-loop control [10%]
1. Speed +- 5% [Get 10%]
2. Speed +-10%[Get 7%]
3. Speed +-20%[Get 4%]
4. Speed more than +-20%[Get 0%]
2. Telemetry [60%]
1. Infrared distance [9%]
2. Ultrasonic sensor [9%]
3. Gearbox sensor [9%]
4. Electric compass [9%]
5. On-board camera [9%]
6. GUI (Display software) [15%]

Phase 2 Drift

1. Drifting [20%]
1. RC car will automatically drift in every corner.
2. At circle, RC car will drift around circle 3 times through a circle.
3. Number of wheels slipping(at least 2) + minimum duration (2 seconds)
4. Drifting distance
1. At least 25% of distance drifting section get [5%]
2. Between 25%-50% of distance drifting section get [10%]
3. Between 50% - 80% of distance drifting section get [15%]
4. Above 80% of distance, drifting section get [20%]
