  • Publication number: 20180339709
    Abstract: A system for controlling a vehicle navigating a roadway, including a perception module that generates sensor data and outputs a cost map and traffic data associated with traffic objects, a behavior planning module that receives the cost map and the traffic data from the perception module and generates planner primitives, a training module that receives the cost map and the traffic data from the perception module, receives driver input from a vehicle operator, and trains the behavior planning module, a local planning module comprising a set of task blocks that receives the cost map from the perception module and the planner primitives from the behavior planning module, selects a task block, and generates control commands using the selected task block; and a control module comprising an actuation subsystem, wherein the control module receives the control commands from the local planning module and controls the actuation subsystem.
