摘要: 传统人工势场(Artificial potential field,APF)算法在弯道进行避障路径规划时,存在道路APF未体现车速对安全风险的影响,障碍物APF容易导致规划的路径波动的缺陷。为了弥补这些缺陷,建立改进的交通环境综合APF。针对车辆在高速过弯时可能因偏离车道中心线而发生碰撞的风险,提出根据车速动态调节道路边界约束强度的方法,在Frenet坐标中建立改进道路APF。为准确描述车辆和障碍物相对速度表征的碰撞风险,在分析传统障碍物APF的缺陷基础上,基于向量法定义相对接近系数,建立基于相对接近系数和相对位置关系,同时适应静态和动态障碍物的改进障碍物APF。为验证建立的改进APF性能,在Carsim/Simulink联合仿真环境下进行对比分析。结果表明,所提出的改进道路APF能有效减小车辆高速过弯时偏离车道中心线的程度,显著减小发生道路边界碰撞的风险;改进障碍物APF能根据相对接近系数动态调节分布范围,平滑地规划出避障路径;由上述两个APF构成的交通环境综合APF能更安全地引导车辆在连续弯道上行驶与避障。

Abstract: When employing the conventional artificial potential field(APF) algorithm for obstacle avoidance path planning on curves, the road APF does not reflect the impact of vehicle speed on safety risk, and the obstacle APF is easy to cause the fluctuation of the planned path. To address these deficiencies, an improved and comprehensive APF of traffic environment has been developed. Specifically, considering the risk of collisions due to vehicles deviating from the centerline of their lanes at high velocities during turns, a method has been proposed that dynamically adjusts the road boundary constraints based on vehicle velocity. This is implemented within the Frenet coordinate system to achieve an improved road APF. To accurately represent the collision risk characterized by the relative velocity between the vehicle and obstacles, the shortcomings of the traditional obstacle APF are analyzed. Based on a vector approach, a relative proximity coefficient is defined, leading to the establishment of an improved obstacle APF that considers both the relative proximity coefficient and the relative positional relationship, adapting to both static and dynamic obstacles. To validate the performance of these improved APFs, comparative analyses were conducted in a Carsim/Simulink joint simulation environment. The results indicate that the proposed improved road APF effectively reduces the extent to which vehicles deviate from the centerline of their lanes during high-speed turns, significantly lowering the risk of collisions with road boundaries. The improved obstacle APF, adjusting its distribution range dynamically based on the relative proximity coefficient, smoothly plans obstacle avoidance paths. The comprehensive APF of traffic environment, composed of the aforementioned two APFs, can more safely guide vehicles in navigating and avoiding obstacles on continuous curves.
