Project overview

The goal of this project is to develop autonomous bicycles that can follow a predefined path predictably and consistently. Such a bike is intended to be used in test-driving where it carries a dummy and the safety system of the vehicle is tested and evaluated. 

A self-driving bike is more realistic than other bike targets used at validation tests since it can wiggle, its front-wheel has a steering angle in the curves, and there is a roll angle following the dynamic of the bike. All these features are potentially useful for a safety system in the vehicle trying to predict the imminent maneuver of the biker.  Hence, repeatable tests containing these features is important to validate these safety functions and to develop bikes with the capability one of the main goals of the project.

The project is to a large extent carried out by students on bachelor and master level.
