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.
