Boeing Autonomous Driving Capstone

Welcome

This is the Boeing Autonomous Driving Capstone project at Northern Arizona University.



Project Description

The goal of this project is to develop a control system to automate traditional vehicles. The system includes control over:

  • Brakes
  • Steering
  • Throttle

Sponsors and Stakeholders

Sponsor: Boeing (Michael Vogelsang)

Technical Support: Conner N. and Donald G.

Importance

This project contributes to the future of transportation and advanced automation technology. The developed system is a stepping stone toward fully autonomous vehicle control in real-world applications.

Buggy Vehicle

Buggy vehicle used for automation project

The buggy used for this project serves as the test platform for implementing automated throttle, brake, and steering control.
