In the present research paper, the authors provide an extensive overview about a so far uninvestigated approach regarding the research and development (R&D) of Autonomous Vehicle Technologies, an exhaustive investigation concerning the simulation and validation of roundabout situation with radio-controlled (RC) autonomous vehicles, as well as the examination of RC vehicles' applicability in the testing processes of Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies. Through this research project, the authors are offering a thorough analysis concerning the most current Autonomous Driving Systems from the point of view of their operation in roundabout related environments, as well as have developed two small-scaled RC autonomous vehicle models, which are capable of being used in the testing and validation processes concerning research studies related to the field of autonomous vehicles. This paper represents the first of a two-part in-depth examination of the aforementioned subject matter, organized in six sections, each contributing significantly to the realization of the final structure of a unique and comprehensive project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
