Highly Automated Electric Vehicle Platform for Control Education⁎⁎The research reported in this paper was supported by the Higher Education Excellence Program in the frame of Artifcial Intelligence research area of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME FIKP-MI/FM).EFOP-3.6.3-VEKOP-16-2017-00001: Talent management in autonomous vehicle control technologies- The Project is supported by the Hungarian Government and co-fnanced by the European Social Fund

The paper presents a small-scale electric vehicle framework for vehicle control education and research. The main goal of the project is to serve as a good experimental platform for the students on any level of vehicle mechatronics education. It offers wide range of possibilities for embedded system, control design and machine learning applications. The proposed system is a redesigned version of our former experimental vehicle framework. The project was scheduled for two main goals. One was to design and implement a Robot Operating System based vehicle with Ackermann steering. The other was to develop a platform, which can be highly integrated into vehicle control education. In the paper the system architecture, the sensors and the control units are detailed, furthermore the educational benefits and some use cases are presented.
