Autonomous driving application is developing towards specific scenes. Park scene has features such as low speed, fixed routes, short connection, less complex traffic, and hence is suitable for bringing autonomous driving technology into reality. This paper targets park scene, and proposes a visual path tracking lateral control method using only one webcam. First, we calculate error of distance and error of angle from camera images, and then use fuzzy logic to fuzzify them into a combined error degree. The PID control algorithm takes it as input, and outputs steering wheel angle control command. Fuzzification could tolerate the error brought by image transformation and lane detection, making PID control more stably. Our experiments in both virtual and real scene show that our method can accurately and robustly follow the path, even at night. Compared with pure pursuit, our method can make 5 meters turning.

Urban traffic systems worldwide are suffering from severe traffic safety problems. Traffic safety is affected by many complex factors, and heavily related to all drivers' behaviors involved in traffic system. Drivers with aggressive driving behaviors increase the risk of traffic accidents. In order to manage the safety level of traffic system, we propose Driving Safety Credit inspired by credit score in financial security field, and design a scoring method using trajectory data and violation records. First, we extract driving habits, aggressive driving behaviors and traffic violation behaviors from driver's trajectories and traffic violation records. Next, we train a classification model to filtered out irrelevant features. And at last, we score each driver with selected features. We verify our proposed scoring method using 40 days of traffic simulation, and proves the effectiveness of our scoring method.
