Motion planning in urban environments
Abstract
We present the motion planning framework for an autonomous vehicle navigating through urban environments. Such environments present a number of motion planning challenges, including ultrareliability, high‐speed operation, complex intervehicle interaction, parking in large unstructured lots, and constrained maneuvers. Our approach combines a model‐predictive trajectory generation algorithm for computing dynamically feasible actions with two higher level planners for generating long‐range plans in both on‐road and unstructured areas of the environment. In the first part of this article, we describe the underlying trajectory generator and the on‐road planning component of this system. We then describe the unstructured planning component of this system used for navigating through parking lots and recovering from anomalous on‐road scenarios. Throughout, we provide examples and results from “Boss” an autonomous sport utility vehicle that has driven itself over 3,000 km and competed in, and won, the DARPA Urban Challenge. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
