Toward Autonomous Driving in Highway and Urban Environment: HQ3 and IVFC 2017

摘要

The 2017 Intelligent Vehicle Future Challenge of China (IVFC) was held in Changshu between 24th November and 26th November, 2017. As the ninth series of this event, last year's competition has introduced many new features and has attracted 21 teams to join this competition. The HQ3 autonomous vehicle, jointly developed by National University of Defense Technology, Jilin University and Central South University, took part in this competition. This paper mainly describes the key modules of HQ3, including GPS-free localization, environment perception and behavior planning. All of these modules together enable HQ3 to perform well during the competition.
