self driving car using arduino(autonomous guided vechicle)

by sak4

fully autonomous cars, without steering wheels or brake pedals are most hot topic in 2017 .so i decided make
something like that but it was soo challengive !
in my project self driving car or autonomous guided vehicle is a self-piloted vehicle that does not require an
operator to navigate and accomplish its tasks. My autonomous vehicle is presented which employs a GPS
Receiver Module to capture the GPS signal and determine the current location of the vehicle. The system is
controlled using an Arduino uno, a magnetic compass sensor and DC motors. The compass sensor determines
the vehicle direction by continuously providing measurement of heading. The micro-controller drives the DC
motors to move the vehicle to a manually entered destination coordinates. Obstacle detection and avoidance are
achieved by incorporating a ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and
avoidance is implemented by the micro-controller. The designed autonomous vehicle is able to navigate itself
independently from one location to a user-prescribed location, using GPS-location data. The vehicle measures the
bearing angle, and changes its heading towards the destination and repeats the process as it moves to the
destination. The performance of the vehicle is enhanced with a capability to detect and avoid unexpected
obstructions placed in its path.

Step 2: Schematic

Attach all components as per in schematic

make sure that compass should be isolated from electronic and magnetic field
power up the ckt with 9v source

Step 3: Attach all components to rover

attach all component to rover

power up the circuit
keep in mind keeep compass away from all other electronic components

Step 4: Programming

for programming u need

arduino ide
usb cable

follow the link for code (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwMte3ugovpzOFM4YmNEZjJOMlk)

Step 5: Result

self driving car run smoothly but accuracy of gps is very low
watch test video test one (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwMte3ugovpzMFR2Q1ZPYnQ2Yzg)
full video comming soon
thanks!!!!!!!
