Abstract

This paper introduces an overview of the studies of two problems; (1) road boundary detection and (2) obstacle detection, in order to allow the movement of autonomous vehicles. Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is the most used technology for solving these two problems. It is thoroughly described with its operating mechanism and its use in other areas. We explore comprehensively the methods used in the literature to solve the detection of road boundaries and the obstacles as well as the recent trends in the relevant area. Furthermore, the solutions based on the previous works and suggested future works will be described.
