PACPUS is a research platform of the Heudiasyc JRU UTC/CNRS 7253 in the field of Intelligent Vehicles. You can find more details about the equipments and research results directly on the website of PACPUS platform: http://www.hds.utc.fr/pacpus. 

To carry out experiments with Intelligent Vehicles or robots, Heudiasyc has developed the PACPUS framework to solve the systems integration issues. So PACPUS is just a framework that can help you to quickly develop new functionalities and to integrate them in a more complex system. The framework is designed around the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle | KISS principle]] and use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component-based_software_engineering | Component-based software engineering]].
