Vehicle Collision Avoidance Path Planning Based on Trajectory Prediction

To address the issues of unreasonable collision avoidance path planning algorithms and inadequate safety in high-speed scenarios, a trajectory prediction-based collision avoidance path planning algorithm has been proposed. First, a trajectory prediction model is constructed using the long- short-term memory (LSTM) network, and the trajectory prediction model is trained and tested with the HighD dataset. Second, the future trajectory of the obstacle car is predicted, the future trajectory information of the two cars is combined to generate the lane-changing decision, and the three-times B-spline curves are used to generate the collision avoidance path clusters. The optimal collision avoidance paths are generated based on the multi-objective optimization function. Finally, build a MATLAB/CarSim simulation platform to verify the reasonableness and safety of the planned paths by taking the three scenarios of the continuous overtaking, preceding car pulling out, and the neighboring car cutting in as examples. The results show that the proposed trajectory planning algorithm is more robust, reasonable than the path planning algorithm based on the safety distance model, effectively improving the safety of the vehicle during high-speed driving.
