Abstract. This article deals with the problems of creating and operating auto-rated cars. With the intensive development of driver assistance systems, unmanned technology in road transport, the competence model of a modern specialist in the field of transport and technological machines is transformed. He should know not only the theoretical and practical bases of car operation, but also electronics and electrical engineering, applied mathematics, programming, mechatronics and robotics. At the same time, the complex educational products for the study of autonomous transport systems are not presented, and the existing list of laboratory equipment is limited to stands on mechatronics and robotic kits, each of which has a number of drawbacks described in the article. As a solution to the problem, a new educational complex is proposed, which includes a large-scale model of the car, a mechatronic complex based on a programmable microcontroller, a block polygon and a set of teaching materials that deal with the issues of assembly, connection of components and implementation the staff model of autonomous motion algorithms, automatic par-forging, automatic braking in front of obstacles and some others. For research, two large-scale models have been developed: a passenger car and an elevated vehicle. They have the ability to install telematics, mechatronic equipment and mounted units. Autonomous movement mode is implemented on each of the vehicles. The study of such models in the educational process using the design approach allows the educational institution to form the competencies necessary for the development of full-size autonomous vehicles, and the students to improve their rating when working out. The scientific novelty of the complex lies in the possibility of revealing patterns of influence of external factors on the adequacy of the work of the autonomous control system. At the same time, a large-scale polygon can be used to conduct the experiment, at which operating conditions will be modeled. In addition, the complex allows to conduct scientific work on the improvement of transport control algorithms. This educational complex will be of interest to educational organizations, training centers for companies in the automotive industry, as well as individuals raising their qualifications in the field of autonomous transport.
