Multifunctional mobile module for automatic vehicle control

A multifunctional mobile module for automatic vehicle control, comprising an underframe (1) made of a metal profile and equipped with metal brackets that hold cameras (2,3), a lidar (4) and an outer plating, and, further, a frame (47) with a sealing loop (48) is attached to the underframe (1) by means of brackets, characterized in that the outer plating is comprised of a front part (53), a rear part (54), side parts (50, 51), a bottom part (49), and an upper part in the form of a hood (30) that has a lower layer (31) and an upper layer and contains car locks (61) and gas lifts (62) used to hold the hood (30) open, and plating parts, wherein a module windshield (60) is glued to the front plating part (53) that lets through a laser beam of the lidar (4), and there are sealers (52) along the perimeter of the side plating parts (50, 51) that ensure that the module is sealed during mounting and fixing of the front plating (53) and rear plating (54) parts, wherein to the side plating parts (50, 51), plating lugs (56, 57) are attached through sealers (55), to which a small front glass (58) and a small rear glass (59) are glued, and, in turn, the assembled plating forms a closed, sealed enclosure that is serviced by a thermal management system, and wherein the whole plating is made of an RF transparent composite;

• further, an inertial navigation system (5), calculators (14) of an automated vehicle control system, network switches (15, 16), and a hardware time synchronizer (18) are attached to the underframe (1) by means of metal brackets, wherein a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver (6) is integrated into the hood (30), and on the sides of the upper part of the underframe (1), GSM antennas (19) are mounted;
• further, under the GSM antennas (19), circulation fans (32) are located, with heaters (33) positioned in front of the fans (32);
• wherein in the central part of the underframe (1), terminal blocks (21, 22) are located, along with two DC-to-DC converters (20) with input protection from reverse polarity, protection from overload, and short circuit protection, and, in turn, the front part of the underframe (1) holds wiper blades (37), wherein the left front part of the underframe (1) holds a wiper drive (35);
• wherein the front plating part (53) of the underframe (1) has daytime running lamps (63), and, further, the rear right part of the underframe (1) contains a washer fluid tank (38) that can be filled up through a neck (39), and there is a pump (40) mounted near the tank (38) that supplies washer fluid via a network of tubes to injectors (41) located in the upper part of the front plating part (53), which atomize washer fluid and spray it onto the module windshield (60), further, by means of a pneumatic valve (42), air is vented onto the windshield (60) through nozzles (43) that are located near the injectors (41), thus cleaning the windshield (60) in front of the sensors;
• wherein the rear part of the underframe (1) contains a peripherals controller (34), supply fans (23) that blow outside air through polypropylene filters (24) to a collector (25), thus creating gage pressure there and venting the air through nozzles (26, 27) of the collector (25) of the thermal management system to radiators of the most heated devices in the module, exhaust fans (28) that exhaust the air via air ducts (29) from space between the lower (31) and the upper layers of the hood (30) through the polypropylene filters (24) outside;
• wherein the rear plating part (54) has stroboscopes (64) to attract attention of people around, and, further, the bottom plating part (49) has connection platforms (65) to attach the module to the vehicle;
• and wherein a connector panel (66) is located in a recess in the bottom plating part (49) to connect the module to an on-board power grid and to an on-board CAN bus of the vehicle.
