An Automated Valet Parking Experiment

Abstract

With the evolution of the automotive industry, professionals' knowledge needs to be broadened, and new methods for their training are required. For this purpose, we present a demonstration vehicle built at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), together with the solution to the challenging task of automated valet parking. This functionality serves as a baseline that covers most of the needed functionalities in the future autonomous vehicles. In this demo paper we report about the experimental vehicle, path planning and path following, LiDAR-based pedestrian detection and V2X communication that we implemented.
