  • Patent number: 11117597
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system receives a captured image perceiving an environment of an ADV from an image capturing device of the ADV, where the captured image identifies an obstacle in motion near the ADV. The system generates a feasible area surrounding the moving obstacle based on a projection of the moving obstacle. If the ADV is within the feasible area, the system determines an upper bound velocity limit for the ADV. The system generates a trajectory having a trajectory velocity less than the upper bound velocity limit to control the ADV autonomously according to the trajectory such that if the ADV is within the feasible area the ADV is to decelerate.

  • Patent number: 11084503
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for use by an ADV to nudge incoming objects in a self-reverse lane. In an embodiment, an ADV determines that a self-reverse lane has a predetermined width before entering the self-reverse lane. After entering the self-reverse lane, the ADV can follow a first reference line at the center of the self-reverse lane. In response to detecting an incoming object, the ADV creates an alternative lane in the self-reverse lane by temporarily modifying a high definition map. The ADV subsequently follows a second reference line in the alternative lane to nudge the incoming object. In response to detecting that the incoming object has passed and the self-reverse lane is clear, the ADV can drive back to the center of the self-reverse lane, to continue to follow the first reference line in the self-reverse lane.

  • Publication number: 20210229704
    Abstract: A lateral control error of a steering system of an ADV is determined, which includes iteratively performing following operations for a predetermined time period. Whether the ADV is moving within a predetermined proximity of a current moving direction is determined. Next, whether a road condition of a road on which the ADV is driving satisfies a predetermined road condition is determined. Then, a first steering feedback of the ADV in response to a prior steering control command is measured. Thereafter, the lateral control error is determined based on at least a portion of the first steering feedback over the predetermined time period. Further, a steering command in view of the lateral control error of the steering system is generated. Finally, the steering command is applied to control the ADV to compensate the lateral control error of the steering system.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to a request for a three-point turn, a set of forward turning paths is generated based on a maximum forward turning angle associated with an ADV. A set of backward tuning paths is generated based on a maximum backward turning angle associated with the ADV. A set of three-point turn path candidates is generated based on the forward turning paths and the backward turning paths.

  • Publication number: 20210221374
    Abstract: In one embodiment, in response to a request to make a three-point turn for an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), a forward turning path is generated using a first spiral function based on a maximum forward curvature change rate. A backward turning path is generated using a second spiral function based on a maximum backward curvature change rate. The forward and backward curvature change rates may be determined based on the maximum forward and backward turning angles associated with the ADV, which may be specified as a part of vehicle specification or vehicle design of the ADV. The backward turning path is initiated from an end point of the forward turning path. A three-point turn path is then generated based on the forward turning path and the backward turning path. The ADV is then driven according to the three-point turn path by issuing one or more proper control commands.
