Simulated Environment for Autonomous driving using ROS based on Mahindra E2O electric car

In this paper, we are proposing a simulated environment for autonomous vehicle driving. We have used ROS (Robot Operating System) as the platform to create the system. Apart from simulation, we are also testing autonomous driving on the Mahindra e2o electric car. Simulations designed are according to a real car. We have developed our own car model along with its geometry, control system and input sensors for our simulated test environment. A number of different algorithms have also been tested in the proposed environment.
