Autonomous Bus Transit Simulation In The Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) Area

Abstract

The Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) area is a tourism area located in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia and has now become one of the main tourist destinations in Bali. Adopting autonomous transit bus technology in the BTDC area will show commitment to innovation and a modern image of tourism in Bali, after the Bali Provincial Government showed its seriousness in supporting the use of electric vehicles in tourism areas. The aim of this research is to find out the working steps of the electronic system for simulating an autonomous transit bus and produce a prototype of an autonomous transit bus. The research was carried out using the research and development (R&D) method which focuses on development with the aim of expanding or exploring further a theory or its application with certain developments. The results of the research show that the working steps of the electronic system for simulating an autonomous transit bus prototype are with a control system using the tracking principle of line tracer sensors with a line follower algorithm in passenger bus type mass transportation in tourism/BTDC areas. The autonomous transit bus prototype has been successfully tested by testing motor driver, motor reaction, object detection, and trajectory tracking without experiencing any problems
