Piecewise Bezier Curves Path Planning with Continuous Curvature Constraint for Autonomous Driving
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two practical path planning algorithms based on Bezier curves for autonomous vehicles operating under waypoints and corridor constraints. Bezier curves have useful properties for the trajectory generation problem. This paper describes how the algorithms apply these properties to generate the reference trajectory for vehicles to satisfy the path constraints. Both algorithms generate the piecewise-Bezier-curves path such that the curves segments are joined smoothly with C constraint which leads to continuous curvature along the path. The degree of the curves are minimized to prevent them from being numerically unstable. Additionally, we discuss the constrained optimization problem that optimizes the resulting path for a user-defined cost function.

Motion planning for urban autonomous driving using Bézier curves and MPC
This paper presents a real-time motion planning scheme for urban autonomous driving that will be deployed as a basis for cooperative maneuvers defined in the European project AutoNet2030. We use a path-velocity decomposition approach to separate the motion planning problem into a path planning problem and a velocity planning problem. The path planner first generates a collision-free piecewise l...
متن کاملMinimizing the maximum curvature of quadratic Bézier curves with a tetragonal concave polygonal boundary constraint
In curve design such as highway design andmotion planning of autonomous vehicles, it may be important to minimize the maximum curvature. In this paper we address the problem of minimizing the maximum curvature of a quadratic Bézier curve within a boundary constraint determined by a tetragonal concave polygon. The curve is parameterized by lengths between its control points, called the ‘‘control...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in applications such as data collection and target reconnaissance. An accurate and optimal path can effectively increase the mission success rate in the case of small UAVs. Although path planning for UAVs is similar to that for traditional mobile robots, the special kinematic characteristics of UAVs (such as their minimum turning radius) ha...
