Abstract

The paper presents an original approach for visual identification of road direction of an autonomous vehicle using an improved Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network. We present the results of designing, software implementation, training, and testing of our RBF model for automatic road direction detection as a function of the input image. The path to be identified was quantified in 5 output directions. For training and testing the neural model, we used two lots of real road scenes: 50 images for training and other 50 images for test. The score of correct road recognition was of 100% both for estimation lot and also for the test lot. We have also designed a driving simulator to evaluate the performances of the neural road follower.
