Publication number: 20200159216Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for motion planning in an autonomous vehicle (AV) that separate path planning and velocity planning and may use reference lines in combination with motion planners to determine paths. The method may include reference lines to project planning data into a S-L coordinate system. A motion planner algorithm uses the reference lines and previous path planning history to generate a path in the S-L coordinate system. A velocity is determined for the path. An AV controller is updated with the path and the velocity. Motion planning computations use a dynamic vehicle look-up table to determine possible vehicle motions based on an initial state and control input.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: Great Wall Motor Company LimitedInventors: Duong Le, Kai Zhang, Zhichao Liu

A trajectory from the candidate trajectory(ies) is selected and a controller is updated with the trajectory to control the vehicle. A path planner uses previous configuration graph data in a configuration graph tree to generate candidate path(s). The configuration graph tree is updated with configuration graph data associated with the candidate path(s) upon a terminate conditions. A path is selected from the candidate path(s). A velocity planner algorithm determines a velocity from the path. A LUT is used to assist in the velocity determination.

Patent number: 10648151Abstract: Embodiments of a mold for making a retaining wall blocks are disclosed. The mold enables blocks to be made more quickly by enabling separation of each block from the mold housing when the block is cured sufficiently to enable separation.

In one embodiment, among others, the mold has a movable bottom tray and a mold housing with at least one door. The mold housing has an opening designed to receive and introduce a fabrication material, such as concrete, into the cavity. Once a block is sufficiently cured, it is separated from the mold housing on the tray through the at least one door, and a new tray is inserted in the mold housing to make another block.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: EARTH WALL PRODUCTS, LLCInventor: Thomas L.
