Continuous Curvature Trajectory Design and Feedforward Control for Parking a Car

摘要

In this paper, a two-step trajectory planning algorithm from robotics literature is applied to generate suitable trajectories for an autonomous parking maneuver of a car. First, a collision-free curve between a given start and a desired goal configuration within the parking space is planned ignoring the kinematic restrictions on the movement of the car. Second, the collision-free curve is converted into a feasible collision-free trajectory, which can be exactly followed by the car. It is shown how this general planning scheme must be adapted to meet the requirements of the automotive industry
