A system for providing path generation for automated lane centering and / or lane changing purposes. The system includes a desired path generation processor that receives signals detecting the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, a request for a lane change, vehicle state information and a steering angle of the vehicle. The system also includes a path prediction processor that predicts the vehicle path based on vehicle state information including vehicle longitudinal speed, vehicle lateral speed, vehicle yaw-rate and vehicle steering angle. The desired path information and the predicted path information are compared to generate an error signal that is sent to a lane change controller that provides a steering angle signal to turn the vehicle and reduce the error signal. The desired path generation processor can use a fifth order polynomial equation to determine the desired path of the vehicle based on the input signals.

The invention discloses an autonomous vehicle obstacle avoidance method based on an arc path. The autonomous vehicle obstacle avoidance method comprises the following steps of: S1, acquiring the position of a vehicle at any moment through a positioning system; S2, judging whether an obstacle exists in a specific region of a detection range or not, and if so, measuring the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle; S3, selecting a manner of advancing toward a target or walking around the obstacle by the vehicle according to an obstacle distribution condition to realize collision-free navigation towards a fixed target point in an unknown environment; and S4, adding a turning route selection mechanism in the manner of walking around the obstacle, and determining an optimal obstacle avoidance driving route according to the information of the obstacle. The autonomous vehicle obstacle avoidance method disclosed by the invention sufficiently utilizes the advantages of a BUG obstacle avoidance algorithm, and the vehicle is only required to have a detection range of 180 degrees; a physical size and a driving character of the vehicle are also considered and the problem that a four-wheeled vehicle in a non-360-degree detection range cannot use the BUG algorithm is solved; continuous and smooth by-pass movements by navigation obstacle avoidance is realized through a transition path track generated at a turning point.

Some embodiments provide a method for generating intersection data for paths in a map region. The method receives a set of junctions at which paths intersect in the map region. For a particular junction of at least two paths, the method automatically determines whether any of the other junctions in the map region satisfy criteria to be part of a single intersection with the particular junction. When at least one of the other junctions satisfies the criteria, the method automatically combines the other junctions that satisfy the criteria with the particular junction into a single intersection for use in performing mapping operations.

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for efficiently using surface data to calculate a characteristic path of a virtual three-dimensional object. A surface mesh is constructed using segmented volumetric data representing the object. Geodesic distance from a reference point is calculated for each shape element in the surface mesh. The geodesic distance values are used to produce rings. Ring centroids are computed and connected to form the characteristic path, which is optionally pruned and smoothed.

The present disclosure relates to a technology for changing lane in which a vehicle is driving, in particular to a lane change control device. The lane change control device comprises a space recognition unit that detects a front object by using a camera sensor of the vehicle, recognizes an empty space in which the front object does not exists, and determines a target position, within the empty space on the basis of a lane modeling equation determined from a lateral offset, the vehicle's traveling velocity (V), and a lane change request time (t), wherein the lateral offset is the distance between the center of the camera sensor and the center of the adjacent lane; a path generation unit that generates a path for moving from a current vehicle position to the target position; and a control unit that performs a lane change control that controls at least one of the vehicle's steering angle and a vehicle velocity such that the vehicle moves to the target position along the path.
