Real-Time Trajectory Planning For Autonomous Vehicles Seminar

All dates for this event occur in the past.

Autonomous functions in vehicles is a trending topic with significant industrial and academic attention. Most attention is naturally given to personal cars in regular traffic, heavy-duty trucks operating in a work site is not as well studied. Based on a recent project together with Scania CV targeting vehicles operating in an open-pit mine, this presentation will present some initial activities.  One important task is real-time trajectory planning while avoiding moving obstacles. This presentation shows how standard approaches can be adapted and used to also consider motion models for trucks, friction models, roll-over prevention, road-banking etc. Further, Frisk will present some initial experiments with direct MPC to solve multiple-vehicle traffic scenarios.
