Abstract:

For the problem that the spatio-temporal separation trajectory planning method used in autonomous vehicles is prone to insufficient vehicle flexibility, and even cannot generate feasible trajectories under complex working conditions, while the existing spatio-temporal unified trajectory planning method is difficult to meet the requirements of structured road application, a spatio-temporal unified planning method based on dynamic programming and numerical optimization algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the spatio-temporal unified coarse trajectory is generated by dynamic programming algorithm in Frenet coordinate system. In the process, deterministic sampling method is used to expand the child nodes. Then, taking the coarse trajectory as reference, the feasible spatio-temporal corridor is constructed in Cartesian coordinate system, and the NMPC optimization model is established to generate the final trajectory. Finally, the algorithm is verified by simulation. The results show that the proposed algorism has good adaptability to structured road, and can better balance the requirements of traffic efficiency, trajectory comfort and time consumption than other spatio-temporal unified algorithms.
