Abstract

Due to the unique steering mechanism and driving characteristics of the articulated vehicle, a hybrid path planning method based on the articulated vehicle model is proposed to meet the demand of obstacle avoidance and searching the path back and forth of the articulated vehicle. First, Support Vector Machine (SVM) theory is used to obtain the two-dimensional optimal zero potential curve and the maximum margin, and then, several key points are selected from the optimal zero potential curves by using Longest Accessible Path (LAP) method. Next, the Cubic Bezier (CB) curve is adopted to connect the curve that satisfies the curvature constraint of the articulated vehicle between every two key points. Finally, Back and Forth Rapidly-exploring Random Tree with Course Correction (BFRRT-CC) is designed to connect paths that do not meet articulated vehicle curvature requirements. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid path planning method can search a feasible path with a 90-degree turn, which meets the demand for obstacle avoidance and articulated vehicle back-and-forth movement.
