Research Abstract

First purpose of this study is the system development of vehicle controller that enables less experienced driver can steers vehicle by referring vehicle motion control database for safety. In addition navigation of crawler tractor with accurately guidance has been tested. Human support system that makes less experienced driver can travel vehicle backward was developed. From the experiments it was found that laser systems can find tree trunks so that the vehicle can travel on the route in the fields.
