Abstract: A blacklist-based re-navigation method and apparatus, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The blacklist-based re-navigation method includes: detecting whether an obstacle is in a front area of a driverless vehicle in a driving process of the driverless vehicle; if an obstacle is detected in the front area, generating a blacklist associated with the obstacle, wherein the blacklist includes a road on which the obstacle is located; and reporting the blacklist to a navigation system, wherein the navigation system re-plans a navigation route according to the road on which the obstacle is located.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a driving reference line, and a vehicle are provided. The method comprises: acquiring position information of at least one obstacle in a range covered by an original driving reference line; determining a safety range parameter based on the position information of the at least one obstacle; adjusting a coefficient of a polynomial curve corresponding to the original driving reference line based on the safety range parameter, to obtain an adjusted polynomial curve; and determining an adjusted driving reference line based on the updated polynomial curve. The safety problem of the driving reference line caused by the insufficient obstacle avoidance ability of the driving reference line is solved.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for planning a travelling path, and a vehicle are provided. The method includes: determining at least one reference curve covering a first length range, and selecting a target reference curve covering the first length range from the at least one reference curve covering the first length range; extracting a curve to be adjusted covering a second length range from the target reference curve covering the first length range; processing the curve to be adjusted based on a safety parameter within the second length range, to obtain an adjusted curve; and determining a travelling path covering the first length range based on the adjusted curve and the target reference curve. The complexity of an actual traffic scene is taken into account, and a travelling path planning is not affected by the accuracy of sampling points.

Abstract: In one embodiment, instead of using map data, a relative coordinate system is utilized to assist perception of the driving environment surrounding an ADV for some driving situations. One of such driving situations is driving on a highway. Typically, a highway has fewer intersections and exits. The relative coordinate system is utilized based on the relative lane configuration and relative obstacle information to control the ADV to simply follow the lane and avoid potential collision with any obstacles discovered within the road, without having to use map data. Once the relative lane configuration and obstacle information have been determined, regular path and speed planning and optimization can be performed to generate a trajectory to drive the ADV. Such a perception system is referred to as a relative perception system based on a relative coordinate system.

Abstract: A method for planning a path for lane changing includes: determining, based on position information of a detected obstacle, a reference position to be passed by a vehicle when the vehicle detours the obstacle; estimating an end position of the vehicle detouring the obstacle based on a positional relationship between the vehicle and the obstacle; and determining a path of the vehicle to detour the obstacle based on a current position of the vehicle, the reference position and the end position.

Abstract: A method, device and terminal apparatus for invoking an automatic driving reference line are provided. The method includes: acquiring lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located; calculating an automatic driving reference line of the current lane according to the lane information of the current lane; invoking lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and calculating an automatic driving reference line of the switching lane according to the automatic driving reference line of the current lane and the lane information of the switching lane.

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.

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.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a lane departure detection system detects at a first point in time that a wheel of an ADV rolls onto a lane curb disposed on an edge of a lane in which the ADV is moving. The system detects at a second point in time that the wheel of the ADV rolls off the lane curb of the lane. The system calculates an angle between a moving direction of the ADV and a lane direction of the lane based on the time difference between the first point in time and the second point in time in view of a current speed of the ADV. The system then generates a control command based on the angle to adjust the moving direction of the ADV in order to prevent the ADV from further drifting off the lane direction of the lane.
