  • Patent number: 11703870
    Abstract: A method of determining a drivable space trajectory of an ego vehicle is described. The method includes determining a set of vehicle trajectories corresponding to a same semantic driving maneuver during motion planning of the ego vehicle. The method also includes identifying the drivable space trajectory to perform the same semantic driving maneuver. The method further includes performing a vehicle control action to maneuver the ego vehicle along the drivable space trajectory.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220371617
    Abstract: A method of motion planning and maneuvering of an ego vehicle is described. The method includes computing a set of potential vehicle maneuvers during a current motion planning cycle of the ego vehicle. The method also includes identifying, for the set of potential vehicle maneuvers, space corridor compatible vehicle maneuvers from a set of previously computed vehicle maneuvers during a previous motion planning cycle. The method further includes prioritizing a currently executed vehicle maneuver when the currently executed vehicle maneuver is a space corridor compatible vehicle maneuver with the set of potential vehicle maneuvers.

  • Publication number: 20220355822
    Abstract: A method of motion planning and maneuvering of an ego vehicle is described. The method includes determining a plurality of vehicle trajectories during motion planning of the ego vehicle. The method also includes enumerating the plurality of vehicle trajectories associated with a plurality of vehicle maneuvers into a qualitatively equivalent set of vehicle maneuvers. The method further includes performing a vehicle control action according to a selected one of the qualitatively equivalent set of vehicle maneuvers.

  • Publication number: 20220172608
    Abstract: A driving system for the automated driving for a motor vehicle is configured to determine a field of vision of at least one sensor of the motor vehicle, for at least one area in the surroundings of the motor vehicle which does not lie in the field of vision of the at least one sensor, to simulate, if appropriate, a virtual road user in the at least one area in the surroundings of the motor vehicle, to carry out an evaluation of action options in accordance with a possible virtual collision of the motor vehicle with the at least one virtual road user, to select one of these action options in accordance with the above, and to execute the selected action option.
