DL-AMP and DBTO: An Automatic Merge Planning and Trajectory Optimization and Its Application in Autonomous Driving (2107.02413v2)
Published 6 Jul 2021 in cs.RO, cs.SY, and eess.SY
Abstract: This paper presents an automatic merging algorithm for autonomous driving vehicles, which decouples the specific motion planning problem into a Dual-Layer Automatic Merge Planning (DL_AMP) and a Descent-Based Trajectory Optimization (DBTO). This work leads to great improvements in finding the best merge opportunity, lateral and longitudinal merge planning and control, trajectory postprocessing and driving comfort.
