ALEXA-The Thinking Car

Nowadays, high frequency of accidents are susceptible due to rollover. Numerous approaches have been attempted to detect and predict wheel lift off using on board sensing and a combination of automatic steering and also braking to keep the wheels on ground. Rather than focusing on how to keep the wheels on the ground, it is also usable to understand how to control the vehicle when two wheels are in the air. In case of rough surface there are chances of car to turnover due to imbalanced weight and uncontrolled speed. Thus by providing balancing features it is possible to reduce such accidents. In this paper, control strategy and sensor-based control of self-balancing vehicle is proposed. This understanding may allow the design of control laws that can safely return the vehicle to the ground after inadvertent tip-up. In particular, the focus is on developing software based technique which can be used to control and balance the car.
