2. What is an autonomous vehicle?
 Also known as a driverless car
 Computer controlled
 The system must be able to control the
sensor, navigation, motion planning.

3. Con’t
 2005-Standford University engineers
designed a robot car
 Invented this car because automobiles are
unsafe.

4. Challenges
 Amount of space needed
 Costly
 Problems with sensors, control system
 Getting people to trust the cars that are made

5. Simulation & Modeling
 3D Modeling
 Solidworks 2006
 Simulation
 Dynamical & Static Simulation
 COSMOS
 Advantages

6. Solid Works
 A computer program that allows you to create
3D models virtually.
 Easy to use and is convenient

7. COSMOS Simulation
 What COSMOS could do:
 Shell Analysis
 Assemblies & Contact
 Linear Static
 Frequency Buckling
 Thermal
 Fatigue
 Drop Test
 FEA Translators
 Motion Simulation
 Nonlinear
 Dynamics
 Electromagnetics

8. Goals/Problem
 Problem: To use solid works to create a 3D
model and to test the way it moves.
 Goals: To use solid works and Cosmos
software to estimate the virtual results with
the reality.

9. Methodology
 Learning 3D modeling software -- Solidworks
 Learning Simulation software – COSMOS
 Build Model of the Autonomous Vehicle in
Design & Manufacturing Institute of Stevens
Institute of Technology
 Simulate the model with COSMOS
 Compare or estimate the results between
virtual simulation and reality
