  • Patent number: 11529969
    Abstract: In response to a request to pull over an ADV at a destination point at a side of a lane, a path including a first segment, a second segment and a transition point is planned. The transition point is determined based on at least one of a distance to the destination point or a predetermined distance to a boundary of the side of the lane. The first segment from a start point to the transition point is generated by using a quadratic programming (QP) operation. The second segment from the transition point to the destination is generated based on a shape of the boundary. The ADV is controlled to pull over to the destination point according to the planned path.

  • Patent number: 11529971
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and an apparatus for autonomous driving control, an electronic device, and a storage medium; the application relates to the technical field of autonomous driving. A specific implementation solution is: obtaining movement data of a pedestrian, where the movement data includes a velocity component of the pedestrian along a width direction of a lane and a time of duration that the pedestrian cuts into a driving path of the autonomous vehicle from one side; determining a movement direction of the pedestrian according to the movement data and the movement information of the pedestrian; and generating a driving strategy for the autonomous vehicle according to the movement direction of the pedestrian. Therefore, the movement direction of the pedestrian can be accurately predicted, which facilitates the autonomous vehicle to avoid the pedestrian and insures driving safety.

  • Patent number: 11521495
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a device and a readable storage medium for planning a pass path. The method includes: acquiring current road environment information in front of a vehicle; setting pass candidate points according to the current road environment information and a driving strategy; and determining a current optimal passable path according to the pass candidate points. Since the pass candidate points are set according to the current road environment information and the driving strategy, and the current optimal passable path is determined according to the pass candidate points, thereby effectively decreasing the calculation amount of the impassable path calculation in prior art due to direct setting of pass candidate points in all areas in front of an unmanned vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11480967
    Abstract: Provided are a pass route planning method and apparatus, a device and a readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining current road environment information in front of a vehicle; determining a current passable area according to the current road environment information; setting pass candidate points in the current passable area; and determining a current optimal passable route according to the pass candidate points. Firstly, the passable area is determined, and then the pass candidate points are set in the passable area, and thus the current optimal passable route is calculated according to the pass candidate points in the passable area, which can effectively reduce a calculation amount of unreachable pass routes in the prior art in which candidate points are set in all areas directly in front of an unmanned vehicle, thereby reducing a calculation amount for planning a pass route and improving a planning speed of the pass route.

  • Patent number: 11442450
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to determining that an obstacle blocks at least a portion of a current lane in which an ADV is driving, an obstacle boundary of the obstacle is determined based on the size and shape of the obstacle. A lane configuration is determined based on map data of a map corresponding to a road associated with the lanes. A passing lane boundary that can be utilized by the ADV is determined based on the lane configuration of the road and the obstacle boundary of the obstacle. A passable area is calculated within the passing lane boundary based on a size of the ADV. The passable area is utilized by the ADV to pass the obstacle without collision. Thereafter, a trajectory is planned within the passable area boundary to control the ADV to pass the obstacle.
