Search-Based Autonomous Vehicle Motion Planning Using Game Theory

原文アブストラクト

In this paper, we propose a search-based interactive motion planning scheme for autonomous vehicles (AVs), using a game-theoretic approach. In contrast to traditional search-based approaches, the newly developed approach considers other road users (e.g. drivers and pedestrians) as intelligent agents rather than static obstacles. This leads to the generation of a more realistic path for the AV. Due to the low computational time, the proposed motion planning scheme is implementable in real-time applications. The performance of the developed motion planning scheme is compared with existing motion planning techniques and validated through experiments using WATonoBus, an electrical all-weather autonomous shuttle bus.
