Guide: Rick Lux

Customer: Ray Ptucha

Project Background

● Autonomous vehicles increase roadway safety○ Focal point for academic research opportunities

● Rochester Institute of Technology wishes to re-enter the field of autonomous vehicle research○ Currently no starting point exists

● To reach RIT’s goal, a remote control golf cart will be built as a base for future development

Problem Statement

The scope of this project requires conversion of a golf cart to a remote control vehicle. Safety of the vehicle’s passengers and bystanders is the prime concern. Therefore the vehicle must be low speed and retain the ability for passengers to manually control.
