Abstract

This project is about implementation of autonomous car or self-driving car for a toy car. The toy car move to the particular destination based on input of the destination coordinate from the user. The toy car is guided by using GPS module, Electronic compass and Microcontroller. The toy car basically can move autonomously by only using GPS module and Microcontroller. However, the direction of toy car movement is unknown and this makes Electronic Compass come in handy to determine the current heading of the toy car. Even though, the Electronic Compass will face new problem because of interference from the car movement and the electronic circuit, a chassis of toy car is designed to reduce the tilt error and magnetic disturbances of Electronic Compass. Meanwhile, the GPS module give inaccurate of position data when in dynamic environment and long distance travel. Both of these problems are inevitable since toy car main function is as a mobile and distance of travel is not limited to short distance only. The distribution of waypoints course for toy car is increased to solve the long distance travel issue and dynamic environment problem. These three main problems of the project are reduced and the positioning of coordination is more accurate and precise.
