  • Patent number: 10613489
    Abstract: Driving parameters (e.g., speed, heading direction) that an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) likely utilize as target driving parameters are grouped into a number of ranges and one of the driving parameters in each range is selected as a driving parameter representative or a target driving parameter representing the respective range or segment. For each of the target driving parameters representing the ranges, a particle swarm optimization method is utilized to derive a set of most optimized coefficients for a controller (e.g., speed controller, steering controller) for controlling an ADV. A driving parameter to coefficient (parameter/coefficient) mapping table is generated to map a particular driving parameter representing a range of driving parameter to a set of one or more coefficients of a particular controller. The parameter/coefficient mapping table is utilized at real-time to configure a controller in response to a particular target driving parameter using the corresponding coefficients.

  • Patent number: 10569651
    Abstract: When generating a control command of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), a pitch status and/or a roll status of the road is determined. The control command is adjusted based on the pitch status and the roll status. For example, when an ADV is driving on an uphill or downhill road, a pitch status of the road is determined and a speed control command will be generated based on the pitch status of the road, such that the ADV have a similar acceleration rate as of driving on a flat road. Similarly, when the ADV is driving on a road that is tilted or rolled left or right, a roll status of the road is determined and a steering control command will be generated in view of the roll status of the road, such that the ADV have a similar heading direction as of driving on a flat road.

  • Patent number: 10549752
    Abstract: A lane departure detection system detects that an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is departing from the lane in which the ADV is driving based on sensor data captured when the ADV contact a deceleration curb such as a speed bump laid across the lane. When the ADV contacts the deceleration curb, the lane departure detection system detects and calculates an angle of a moving direction of the ADV vs a longitudinal direction of the deceleration curb. Based on the angle, the system calculates how much the moving direction of the ADV is off compared to a lane direction of the lane. The lane direction is typically substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the deceleration curb. A control command such as a speed control command and/or a steering control command is generated based on the angle to correct the moving direction of the ADV.

  • Patent number: 10534364
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) speed following system determines how much and when to apply a throttle or a brake control of an ADV to maneuver the ADV around, or to avoid, obstacles of a planned route. The speed following system calculates a first torque force to accelerate the ADV, a second torque force to counteract frictional forces and wind resistances to maintain a reference speed, and a third torque force to minimize an initial difference and external disturbances thereafter between predefined target speed and actual speed of the ADV over a planned route. The speed following system determines a throttle-brake torque force based on the first, second, and third torque forces and utilizes the throttle-brake torque force to control a subsequent speed of the ADV.

  • Patent number: 10507813
    Abstract: In one embodiment, it is determined that an ADV is about to decelerate based on perception of a driving environment surrounding the ADV. In addition, if there is another vehicle that is following the ADV, a distance between the ADV and the following vehicle, as well as the speed of the following vehicle, is determined. A deceleration rate that is required for the following vehicle to avoid a collision with the ADV is determined based on the distance between the ADV and the following vehicle and the speed of the following vehicle. If the deceleration rate is greater than a predetermined threshold, a brake light and an emergency light of the ADV are turned on to warn the following vehicle that the ADV is about to rapidly decelerate as it is treated as an emergency situation.

  • Patent number: 10488205
    Abstract: In one embodiment, when an ADV is driving on a road segment, a driving parameter is recorded in response to a first control command. A difference between the first driving parameter and a target driving parameter corresponding to the first control command is determined. In response to determining that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, a second control command is issued to compensate the difference and cause the ADV to drive with a second driving parameter closer to the target driving parameter. A slope status of the road segment is derived based on at least the second control command. Map data of a map corresponding to the road segment of the road is updated based on the derived slope status. The updated map can be utilized to generate and issue proper control commands in view of the slope status of the road when the ADV drives on the same road subsequently.
