I built an RTK-surveyed campus HD map, set up in-vehicle computing, and implemented Autoware waypoint driving on a Hyundai Sonata test vehicle. I also tested LiDAR-based pedestrian detection/avoidance during campus driving experiments.

  • Role: RTK-surveyed HD mapping, Autoware waypoint driving, in-vehicle setup, LiDAR pedestrian-detection testing
  • Tools: Autoware, LiDAR mapping, RTK surveying, waypoint driving, pedestrian detection
  • Result: the same software base was later used in autonomous road-sweeping vehicle development.
