Sumario: This paper describes the perception system for an automatic articulated bus where an accurate tracking trajectory is desired. Among the most promising transport infrastructures of the autonomous or semi-autonomous transportation systems, the articulated bus is an interesting low cost and friendly option. This platform involves a mobile vehicle and a private circuit inside CSIC premises. The perception system, presented in this work, based on 2D laser scanner as a prime sensor generates local terrain maps, where the major concern lies in detecting and tracking a tunnel guide rail built-in the circuit, by using a hybrid-efficient line extraction algorithm and the obstacle detection to guide the vehicle down the lane.
