Abstract: Systems and methods for sampling based planning of possible trajectories for motor vehicles are provided. For example, a control system is configured to determine information relating to a current driving situation of the subject motor vehicle and at least one other motor vehicle on the basis of the environment data. The control system is also configured to determine a plurality of lateral positions. The control system is further configured to determine a number of longitudinal positions and/or speeds. The control system is yet further configured to sample the plurality of lateral positions and the number of longitudinal positions and/or speed in curvilinear coordinates and transformed based on the reference lane to determine stopping points for a trajectory. The control system is configured to determine the trajectory for the subject motor vehicle utilizing a spline-based interpolation in orthogonal coordinates between the determined stopping points and corresponding to the lateral positions.

The second optical filter is configured to pass radiation to the second radiation-sensing element with wavelengths longer than wavelengths within the UV-C range. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the integrated radiation sensor and methods of use of the integrated radiation sensor.
