Wifi based remote control system with video feedback for intelligent vehicles
Résumé
The proposed work lies within the framework of a program concerning the concept of intelligent vehicles and their integration in the city of the future. This paper presents a real-time remote control system with video feedback using wireless technologies. The system consists in controlling an automated vehicle by a distant operator through a computer or pocket PC. This operation is possible since the operator perceive the environment of the vehicle thanks to a video feedback from the camera installed on the vehicle. The vehicle controlling concerns the checking, validation and converting the information transmitted by the operator into vehicle commands (speed, brake, steering). The images provided by the embedded camera are compressed using specific algorithms and sent to the operator in real-time conditions in order to ensure synchronous operations between the operator and the vehicle. The system is tested and evaluated using our automated vehicle platform. The experiments show that the system matches the expected results.
