Research Abstract

In a snowfall region, snow-removal work during winter is hard work. Then, the purpose of this study is development of the autonomous work support module for snowplows carried out snow-removal work autonomously. In order to make a snow-removal work autonomously, it is necessary to detect an on-the-snow obstacle and an in-the-snow obstacle when the weather or temperature condition changed.
Therefore, in this research, we use sensors that are a pyroelectoric infrared sensor, a reflected infrared sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor for on-the-snow obstacle detection, and a metal sensor for in-the-snow obstacle detection on the autonomous snowplow. Moreover, GPS was carried in order to detect own position. Using the experimental model which carried these sensors and controller, an evaluation test of these sensors and a move control experiment of the move controller in outdoors environment were conducted, and the validity of an autonomous work support module was shown.
