Consideration of Vehicle Characteristics on the Motion Planner Algorithm
<|reference_start|>Consideration of Vehicle Characteristics on the Motion Planner Algorithm: Autonomous vehicle control is generally divided in two main areas; trajectory planning and tracking. Currently, the trajectory planning is mostly done by particle or kinematic model-based optimization controllers. The output of these planners, since they do not consider CG height and its effects, is not unique for different vehicle types, especially for high CG vehicles. As a result, the tracking controller may have to work hard to avoid vehicle handling and comfort constraints while trying to realize these sub-optimal trajectories. This paper tries to address this problem by considering a planner with simplified double track model with estimation of lateral and roll based load transfer using steady state equations and a simplified tire model to reduce solver workload. The developed planner is compared with the widely used particle and kinematic model planners in collision avoidance scenarios in both high and low acceleration conditions and with different vehicle heights.<|reference_end|>
