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
