About this paper
Mostafa Emam, Matthias Gerdts
Mostafa Emam and Matthias Gerdts from the University of the Bundeswehr Munich developed a bi-level control framework for automated vehicles that integrates dynamic obstacle avoidance and robust real-time path planning. This framework features a homotopy-based NMPC controller that dynamically augments road boundaries using predicted obstacle movements and an independent backup control loop for fail-safe trajectories, demonstrating successful navigation in challenging dynamic scenarios.
Key insights
- Dynamically augmenting road boundaries based on predicted obstacle movements is crucial for accurate and adaptive path planning in highly dynamic and constrained environments.
- Homotopy-based constraint relaxation significantly enhances the robustness and solvability of NMPC in complex scenarios by progressively introducing constraints, leading to smoother trajectories and fewer solver failures.
- An independent, concurrently running backup control loop that provides fail-safe trajectories (e.g., a controlled stop) is essential for maintaining safety and real-time operational integrity when the primary path planning system encounters computational issues or infeasibility.
