Optimization of B-Spline parameterized Trajectories for On-Road Vehicle Guidance

Abstract:
The guidance of an automated vehicle requires a software-module, which plans a comfortable and collision-free future motion. Furthermore, it must be able to lead the vehicle into a given planning goal. This requires the design of a trajectory planning method including a suitable objective function under consideration of vehicle dynamics and environmental constraints. In this contribution, a trajectory planning algorithm is proposed, which enables the execution of different maneuvers for on-road driving. Restrictions of the state- and input space are included as hard constraints.
