In recent years, automatic operation of automobiles has been actively studied. In contrast, another approach exists: remote control. An operator controls a vehicle through a video image. Human control allows flexibility to cope with emergent situations. However, the conventional studies assume that the vehicle runs on a roadway, and the road surface is flat and even. On the other hand, this paper proposes a new remote control scheme for a one-person micro electric vehicle (EV). Legally, the micro EV is considered a pedestrian based on its speed. Thus, micro EVs must run on sidewalks, which are often uneven and rough. First, to clarify the research target, field research was carried out using a Suzuki Town Cart. The field research shows that the driver looks in a downward direction about 50 percent of the total running time. Thus, the proposed system was designed using a single downward-facing wide-angle camera and a mobile router of a mobile-phone carrier to reduce the system cost. A remote-controlled micro EV prototype was implemented. The prototype was compared with the conventional system using four video cameras facing front, back, right and left. The evaluation shows that the proposed system has improved controllability compared with the conventional system. |
