Item A hybrid planning approach based on MPC and parametric curves for overtaking maneuvers(2021-01-02) Lattarulo, Ray; Rastelli, Joshué Pérez; CCAMAutomated Driving Systems (ADS) have received a considerable amount of attention in the last few decades, as part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) field. However, this technology still lacks total automation capacities while keeping driving comfort and safety under risky scenarios, for example, overtaking, obstacle avoidance, or lane changing. Consequently, this work presents a novel method to resolve the obstacle avoidance and overtaking problems named Hybrid Planning. This solution combines the passenger’s comfort associated with the smoothness of Bézier curves and the reliable capacities of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to react against unexpected conditions, such as obstacles on the lane, overtaking and lane-change based maneuvers. A decoupled linear-model was used for the MPC formulation to ensure short computation times. The obstacles and other vehicles’ information are obtained via V2X (vehicle communications). The tests were performed in an automated Renault Twizy vehicle and they have shown good performance under complex scenarios involving static and moving obstacles at a maximum speed of 60 kph.Item A Two-Stage Real-Time Path Planning: Application to the Overtaking Manuever: Application to the Overtaking Manuever(2020) Garrido, Fernando; Gonzalez, Leonardo; Milanes, Vicente; Perez, Joshue; Nashashibi, Fawzi; Rastelli, Joshue Perez; CCAMThis paper proposes a two-stage local path planning approach to deal with all kinds of scenarios (i.e. intersections, turns, roundabouts). The first stage carries out an off-line optimization, considering vehicle kinematics and road constraints. The second stage includes all dynamic obstacles in the scene, generating a continuous path in real-time. Human-like driving style is provided by evaluating the sharpness of the road bends and the available space among them, optimizing the drivable area. The proposed approach is validated on overtaking scenarios where real-time path planning generation plays a key role. Simulation and real results on an experimental automated platform provide encouraging results, generating real-time collision-free paths while maintaining the defined smoothness criteria.
