Abstract: Planning, or path finding is one of many tasks performed by an autonomous vehicle (AV). Planning involves searching for and updating an optimal plan from a current pose to an end pose while avoiding obstacles. Planning can be particularly challenging in driving scenarios involving complex driving maneuvers, such as parking, making a U-turn, making a K-turn, etc. Searching for an optimal plan may take more time, e.g., a few seconds, in certain driving scenarios. Consumers of the plan may have a low tolerance for delay in receiving the optimal plan. A relay can be implemented to publish the latest plan to the consumers at a frequency. The relay can check whether the delay violates a dynamic threshold and raise an error accordingly. The searching process can be improved to reduce the delay in finding an optimal plan.

Abstract: The invention relates to an operation diagram-based method for automatically changing a route to turn back in case of interruption. The method obtains an alternative turn-back point according to the position of a fault point and the information of a line turn-back station, calculates a corresponding turn-back plan of the alternative turn-back point according to an operation diagram of the current day, and finally automatically changes an online train route according to the new turn-back plan, so as to realize automatic turn-back of a train after route adjustment in case of interruption. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantage of being able to keep the compatibility with an existing operation diagram while quickly changing a route in case of partial line interruption, so as to facilitate quick recovery of planned operation after a fault is removed.
