Exclusive Traffic AVP

Automated Valet Parking in Controlled Environment

– ViaLab, Pusan National University
AVP MPC Parking ROS

Developed autonomous parking system using linear MPC algorithm with structured parking space management. Built a controlled environment where only autonomous vehicles operate, enabling systematic development and testing. Tested on actual autonomous vehicle platform in ROS environment.

Key Technologies

Control System

  • Linear MPC: Model Predictive Control for precise path tracking and trajectory execution
  • Stanley Controller: Alternative path tracking for comparison
  • Pure Pursuit: Benchmark algorithm for performance evaluation

Parking Management

  • Structured Parking Management: System for organizing and allocating parking slots
  • Slot Selection: App-based selection of target parking spaces (empty spaces intentionally designated)
  • Localization: Google Cartographer-based positioning (external implementation)
  • Approach Planning: Optimized trajectories for parking entry

Implementation Details

  • C++, Python, and ROS integration
  • Gazebo simulation environment for controlled testing
  • Real vehicle platform validation
  • Comprehensive unit and integration testing

System Architecture

  • Perception: LiDAR-based localization and slot detection
  • Planning: Path planning for parking approach and execution
  • Control: MPC-based trajectory tracking
  • Management: Parking slot allocation and coordination
