Abstract:

Traditional artificial potential field method has the problems of speed oscillation in longitudinal motion planning, and difficulty in realization of lateral motion planning. A virtual force model based on artificial potential field is established in this paper and a motion planning method of vehicle based on virtual force model of potential field under intelligent connected traffic environment is proposed. By evaluating the motion state of the vehicle and its surrounding vehicles, a virtual force based on vehicle position and speed is generated, and the driving trajectory and speed planning of non?oscillating car following and lane changing are realized. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve safe, feasible and smooth collision?free path planning, and can overcome the oscillation problem in traditional potential field motion planning process. By comparing with the real trajectory in driving dataset of highD, it shows that the motion planning based on the virtual force of potential field is approximately consistent with the data of highD, which demonstrates its practicability.
