Abstract: A method and system for navigating an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The method comprises determining a relative velocity between the autonomous vehicle and each of one or more surrounding vehicles. Thereafter, the relative velocity associated with each of the one or more surrounding vehicles may be compared with a predefined relative speed threshold to identify a plurality of vehicles-of-interest from the one or more surrounding vehicles. An area bounded by the plurality of vehicles-of-interest may then be determined as a current navigable space for the autonomous vehicle. Subsequently, a future navigable space for the autonomous vehicle may be predicted based on a predicted velocity of the plurality of vehicles-of-interest and a predicted distance to the plurality of vehicles-of-interest. The autonomous vehicle may then be navigated based on the current navigable space and the future navigable space.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generation of a safe navigation path for a vehicle. The safe navigation path is generated by a navigation path generation system. The said system receives a reference path comprising a source location and a destination location. Further, generates segments along one of the left boundary and a right boundary, present on either side of the reference path.

Further, using the horizontal line and vertical line projected from each of the segments, the navigation path generation system generates a safe navigation path along the centre, between the boundaries present on either side of the reference path. Navigation of the vehicle along the safe path ensures the safety of vehicle and people in the vehicle, when the vehicle is an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle.
