Patent number: 10534364Abstract: In one embodiment, an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) speed following system determines how much and when to apply a throttle or a brake control of an ADV to maneuver the ADV around, or to avoid, obstacles of a planned route. The speed following system calculates a first torque force to accelerate the ADV, a second torque force to counteract frictional forces and wind resistances to maintain a reference speed, and a third torque force to minimize an initial difference and external disturbances thereafter between predefined target speed and actual speed of the ADV over a planned route. The speed following system determines a throttle-brake torque force based on the first, second, and third torque forces and utilizes the throttle-brake torque force to control a subsequent speed of the ADV.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignees: BAIDU USA LLC, BAIDU.COM TIMES TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventors: Fan Zhu, Qi Kong, Xiang Yu, Sen Hu, Qi Luo, Zhenguang Zhu, Yuchang Pan, Wenli Yang, Guang Yang, Jingao Wang
