Research on path planning of intelligent vehicle integrated with adjacent vehicle prediction
摘要
The trajectory prediction layer of autonomous vehicles predicts the further trajectory of adjacent vehicles and plans paths to avoid potential risks based on ego-vehicle and environmental perception data. However, traditional path planning algorithms based on simplified traffic models and static predictions fail to capture the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of actual traffic flows, making it difficult to adapt to dynamic traffic rules and complex traffic environments, leading to inaccurate planning results. To address these issues, a multi-model switching law integrated with Viterbi decoding is proposed to obtain the driving intentions of adjacent vehicles and predict their trajectories. An RRT* four-step optimization algorithm is designed to plan the path of ego-vehicle in complex environments. The Prescan-Carsim-Simulink results demonstrate that the ego-vehicle can avoid obstacles based on the results of multi-cycle path planning in static obstacle avoidance scenarios. The vehicle executes a lane change 2 m in advance in leading vehicle cut-in scenarios. The vehicle experiences a 34.4% reduction in the peak of yaw rate during overtaking, with heading changes becoming smoother and the extreme values being reduced by 19.3%. The curvature extreme point is 90.04, with an extreme value of − 1.07 m in multi-vehicle interaction scenarios. The vehicle completes lane-changing actions earlier and reduces the yaw displacement. The strategies proposed in this paper can respond promptly and optimize lane-changing actions, enhancing the safety and predictability of path planning.
