Abstract

This paper proposes the development of a vehicular automation and remote sensing framework capable of making the MagLev-Cobra an autonomous vehicle. The project aims to enable control of the magnetic levitation vehicle through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that responds to signals from a microcomputer equipped with a high-precision GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor. This project encompasses the intersection between theory and practice regarding future technologies applied to vehicles, covering knowledge in electrical engineering, control, and data processing. So far, the project has been successful in simulations, calibrations, and sensor studies.
