Sensors Configuration for Small Scale Autonomous Ground Vehicle

This paper presents a small scale autonomous ground vehicle which is configured using sensors. The autonomous small scaled vehicle has been engineered to have dynamic behaviours equivalent with real ground vehicle. The main objective of the using sensors configuration is to obtain the dynamic behaviour of scaled vehicle. Sensors configuration are equipped with electronic instruments, Arduino Duemilanove, wireless communication system, data acquisition system, and numerous sensors. This study is conducted by simulation and experiment.
