Scope1.1 Purpose:1.1.1 The purpose of this test method is to evaluate anA-unmanned ground vehicles (A-UGV) capability of travers-ing through a defined space with limited

3、 A-UGV clearance.This test method is intended for use by A-UGV manufacturers,installers, and users. This test method defines a set of generic2D area shapes representative of user applications and fordifferent A-UGV types.1.1.2 A-UGVs shall possess a certain set of navigationcapabilities appropriate

4、to A-UGV operations such as A-UGVmovement between structures that define the vehicle path. Anavigation system is the monitoring and controlling functionsof the A-UGV, providing frequent A-UGV updates of vehiclemovement from one place to another. A-UGV environmentsoften include various constraints to

5、 A-UGV mobility. In thistest method, apparatuses, procedures, tasks, and metrics arespecified that apply constraints and thereby, standard testmethods for determining an A-UGVs navigation capabilitiesare defined.1.1.3 This test method is scalable to provide a range ofdimensions to constrain the A-UG

6、V mobility during taskperformance.1.1.4 A-UGVs shall be able to handle many types of openand defined area complexities with appropriate precision andaccuracy to perform a particular task.1.1.5 The required mobility capabilities include prepro-grammed or autonomous movement or both from a start point

7、to an end point. Further mobility requirements may include:sustained speeds, vehicle reconfiguration to pass throughdefined spaces, payload,A-UGV movement within constrainedvolumes, or other vehicle capabilities, or combinations thereof.This test method is designed such that a candidate A-UGV canbe

8、evaluated as to whether or not it meets a set of userapplication requirements.1.1.6 Performing LocationThis test method shall be per-formed in a location where the apparatus and environmentaltest conditions can be fully implemented. Environmental con-ditions are specified and recorded.1.1.7 Addition

21、 B or C), as shown in Figs.1-7, traversing in a specified direction (forward or reverse).Where possible theA-UGV should return to the start line usingautonomous control without operator intervention.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Area DefinitionThis test method consists of traversingmultiple repetitio

22、ns of a single task within a specified naviga-tion area defined by physical barriers, virtual barriers, or floormarkings, or combinations thereof. Further details are given inSection 6. Figs. 1-7 show possible defined area navigationconstraints and references to locations within the apparatus (A,B,

23、and C) and start and goal lines. Using these shapes, the testmethod can be used to determine an A-UGVs capability attraversing through an area of specified dimensions. The testmethod could also be used to determine the minimum space inwhich the A-UGV is able to traverse.4.2 Navigation Test Method:4.

24、2.1 The A-UGV shall drive through the apparatus (ex-amples are shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10). The completion of oneof the repetitions is when the A-UGV traverses from thespecified start location (A) across an end goal line (B or C).The A-UGV shall not make contact with any barrier (unlesswith only a

25、contact-sensing device that is used to navigate) nordeviate from the defined area during a task. If the A-UGVmakes contact with any barrier or crosses a virtual barrierduring a repetition, the result is a test failure. The test requestorhas the authority to select defined path width(s) (x or y, or b

26、oth,in Figs. 1-7) for the test event. The defined path width may bealtered by the test requestor prior to a test with the aim ofidentifying the minimum space that can be traversed by theA-UGV, if desired.4.2.2 A task is successfully completed when the entireA-UGV crosses the specified start line at

27、the start location (A),traverses within the defined area, and crosses the specified goalline at the end goal (B or C) without crossing or impacting thephysical barriers, virtual barriers, or floor markers.4.2.3 The A-UGVs navigation capability is defined by itsability to repeatedly travel through a

28、defined area from start toend goal. The test does not require a specific route to befollowed by the A-UGV. The route definition is not part of thestandard test, nor the line that may be followed, to a certainrepeatability. The test is set out to identify the area required forA-UGV movement.4.2.4 The

29、 test supervisor will inform the test requestor of thenumber of task repetitions to be made, corresponding to thestatistical reliability and confidence levels shown in Table 1.4Available from British Standards Institution (BSI), 389 Chiswick High Rd.,London W4 4AL, U.K., http:/.NOTE 1The thick black

31、ingresults of the test to the test requestor.4.2.6 The test supervisor will be responsible for directingthe test technician and the A-UGV operator.4.3 MetricsDerived from Figs. 1-7. All measurementsshown in the figures related to a 2D space with a flat, horizontalfloor. Measurements between boundari

32、es are perpendicular tothe boundary being measured.4.3.1 Straight Aisle Width (Fig. 1)The value, x,isthedistance between boundaries representing the area needed bythe A-UGV to traverse through a straight aisle.4.3.2 Intersecting Aisles Widths (Single and Dual, Figs.2-7)The same discussion of aisle w

33、idth described in 4.3.1applies here. However, there are two measured widths to bedetermined: the initial aisle width, x, and the final aisle width,y. The combination of these metrics describes the dimensionsof traversable 2D space by an A-UGV through an intersectionof degrees. The default value of i

34、s 90 for a perpendicularintersection, but angles other than 90 may be selected by thetest requestor.4.3.3 Chamfered CornersThese enable the test requestorto further specify the shape of the corners of an area. Chamfersare defined by setback distances for the interior chamfer (d1and d2) see Fig. 4 an

35、d the exterior chamfer (d3and d4), see Fig.5. The setback distance is that distance between the virtualcorner and the start of the chamfer identifying the interiorspace. The interior chamfer enables the width of the aisleintersection to be increased from that identified in the singleintersection (se

36、e Fig. 4) or dual intersection (see Fig. 7). Theexterior chamfer enables the width of the aisle intersection tobe decreased from that identified in the single intersection (seeFig. 5). Both interior and exterior chamfers can be used in thesingle intersection (see Fig. 3).4.3.4 Completion TimeThe sta

37、rt time of a task is consid-ered the moment the entire body of theA-UGV crosses the startNOTE 1The thick black lines indicate the physical barriers or lines along which virtual barriers or floor markings are set.FIG. 2 Diagrams of Test Method for Navigation through a Single Intersection with No Cham

The end time of a task isconsidered the moment the entire body of the A-UGV crossesthe goal line entering the end goal location (B or C) (see Figs.1-7). Task completion time i

40、s recorded to an accuracy of1sforeach repetition, and test completion time is recorded as anaverage of all completed task repetitions.4.3.5 Path LengthThe path length is defined for its use inthe calculation of the Average Traversal Speed. It is themeasurement of a path down the center of the define

41、d area.Curved traversal distances are not measured.4.3.5.1 For the Straight Aisle, Path Length is zy(see Fig. 1).4.3.5.2 For the Intersecting Aisles where is 90, PathLength is (zy y/2)+(zx x/2) (see Figs. 2-7). For intersectingaisles where is not 90, a similar calculation using the definedareas cent

42、er line should be made.4.3.6 Traversal SpeedThe speed, measured in meters persecond, determined by dividing the Path Length by thecompletion time for a single repetition. Average TraversalSpeed is calculated by dividing the Path Length by theAverageTime, where average time is the Total Duration for

43、nrepetitions, divided by n.4.3.7 A-UGV Aisle Heading/DirectionIn straight aisles,the A-UGV may be commanded to use a particular headingmoving forward or in reverse. The heading and direction that isused by the A-UGV will be recorded for each test.4.3.8 A-UGV Turn DirectionIn turning between intersec

44、t-ing aisles (see Figs. 2-7), the A-UGV can be commanded totraverse between the start line (A) and either of the twopossible goal lines (B or C), each of which result in a differentroute. The test requestor can test both routes with both vehicleorientations to determine the symmetry of A-UGV operati

45、on,which would encompass two separate tests.4.3.9 Test FlexibilityUnder some circumstances, a testrequestor may request a test be carried out using the intersec-tion shape described in 4.3.2 but with different intersectionangle at a value other than 90. Such a test is allowed whenrequested by the te

Future standard test methods may be develop

Significance and Use5.1 A-UGVs operate in a wide range of applications such asmanufacturing facilities and warehouses. Fig. 8 shows threeexample A-UGV types and test apparatus sizes to test A-UGVsintended for different vehicle tasks, types, sizes, and capabili-ties. Such sites can have both defined and undefined areas thatare structured and unstructured. The testing results of thecandidate A-UGV shall describe, in a statistically sign
