Real Time Embedded Systems for Automatic Cruise Control in Vehicles Using Multi Core Processors

Abstract

This paper is on the utilization of multi core processors in embedded systems for Automatic cruise control in vehicles for rapid, reliable and safe transport within specified area. Driverless vehicle designing and implementation is much complex task for which processor having single core cannot be relied upon. This paper also includes case study of an Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) with powerful multi-core processors. This paper discusses the software architecture for efficient risk estimation and decision making algorithms in AGVs, too. In this paper, I have adopted DSP TMS320DM642 as an image processor and ARM cortex A9 as controller. The embedded RTOS i.e. BIOS is transplanted on DSP to construct a software development platform for tasks management, which enhance reliability and real-time response of system.
