  • Patent number: 11988514
    Abstract: Methods and devices for determining routes for autonomous driving are provided. The following steps are executed: computing K alternative routes from a route source to a route destination; evaluating each one of the K alternative routes, wherein the evaluating comprises determining a Pareto front of the K alternative routes, wherein the Pareto front of the K alternative routes comprises a set of Pareto-optimized routes that are Pareto-optimized with regard to route constraints comprising travel time T, manual driving time TM, and transition count M that indicates a count of transitions from the autonomous driving to a manual driving in a route; if the set of Pareto-optimized routes comprises more than P routes, reducing number of Pareto-optimized routes in the set of Pareto-optimized routes to P; and outputting the Pareto-optimized routes of the set of Pareto-optimized routes as the determined routes for autonomous driving.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and to a device for determining routes for autonomous driving. The following steps are executed; computing K alternative routes from a route source to a route destination; evaluating each one of the K alternative routes, wherein the evaluating comprises determining a Pareto front of the K alternative routes, wherein the Pareto front of the K alternative routes comprises a set of Pareto-optimized routes that are Pareto-optimized with regard to route constraints comprising travel time T, manual driving time TM, and transition count M that indicates a count of transitions from the autonomous driving to a manual driving in a route; if the set of Pareto-optimized routes comprises more than P routes, reducing number of Pareto-optimized routes in the set of Pareto-optimized routes to P; and outputing the Paretooplimized routes of the set of Pareto-optimized routes as the determined routes for autonomous driving.
