Design and implementation of fuzzy garage-parking control for a PC-based model car

In this paper, garage parking for a PC-based model car with the design of fuzzy logic controller is explored. At first, the realization of a PC-based model car is described. The authors set up a 1/10th-scale car with front driven and steering wheels. It has four-wheels with four points of suspension. In the PC-based model car, which is completely autonomous, all sensing, computation and control is done on-board. In the second topic, the authors investigate and simulate logic control methods such that the developed model car is able to park in the garage appropriately and automatically from any initial location. The real-time motion of the fuzzy garage-parking controlled model car is implemented in the last topic. By considering practical situations, the authors modify and redesign the fuzzy logic control strategies. Both simulation and experiment demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed intelligent garage-parking control system.
