  • Publication number: 20180364739
    Abstract: A system for off-road vehicles includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute a choreographer system to derive a future first segment for a first off-road vehicle path, and to derive a future second segment for a second off-road vehicle path. The processor is further configured to execute the choreographer system to derive the existence of one or more potential issues based on the first segment and on the second segment, and to communicate the one or more potential issues to a path planning system, wherein the path planning system is configured to solve the one or more potential issues by deriving one or more vehicle plans.
