Patent number: 11529969Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignees: BAIDU USA LLC, BAIDU.COM TIMES TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventors: Dongchun Yao, Fan Zhu, Leibing Lv, Xin Xu, Ning Yu

Patent number: 11529971Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Inventors: Dongchun Yao, Leibing Lv, Jingjing Xue, Fan Zhu

Patent number: 11442450Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignees: BAIDU USA LLC, BAIDU.COM TIMES TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.Inventors: Dongchun Yao, Fan Zhu, Leibing Lv, Xin Xu, Ning Yu
