Multi-functional Intelligent Vehicle

Project Introduction

This project consists of multiple phases. It originated from our team's participation as sophomore newcomers in the HIT Smartcar & Innovation Club(HSIC).

During these two phases, our team developed a CCD-based smart car and a Camera-based line-tracking vehicle respectively, building on the club's existing technical foundations. Under the guidance of faculty advisors and senior club members, we conducted preliminary competitions.

Following the year-long HSIC competition cycle, we integrated our accumulated experience to design a multi-functional scenario-switching sensor vehicle as part of a national innovation training program.

System Overview

System Architecture

The system architecture diagram below delineates the key components, including:software modules, hardware modules and data flow pathways.

Hardware Design

Since the club had provided essential hardware components including the vehicle chassis, motors, servos, sensors, and mounting accessories. So for hardware system,our team concentrated on PCB design.

Shown below is the main PCB integrating core components such as the microcontroller and motor drivers and so on. Specific technical details, including schematic diagrams of voltage transformer, and driver circuits are omitted for confidentiality.

Demonstration

The following two video demonstrations capture the operational performance of our tracking vehicles during intermediate debugging phases.

Achievements

During the competition phase, our team won first prize in the preliminary round of the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) Internal Competition and third prize in the HIT Invitational Competition. Additionally, in the follow-up project, we received first prize in the 2018 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program.

Acknowledgement

We would like to express our gratitude to the teachers and senior members of the Smartcar & Innovation Club for their guidance and nurturing. Special thanks go to our teammates, DU Lingyu and HAN Yuejiang, for their hard work and seamless collaboration during the competition, as well as XU Haoran and GU Haoyuan for their contributions to the follow-up projects.
