Obstacle avoidance for an autonomous vehicle using force field method
Authors
Abstract:
This paper presents a force field concept for guiding a vehicle at a high speed maneuver. This method is similar to potential field method. In this paper, motion constrains like vehicles velocity, distance to obstacle and tire conditions and such lane change conditions as zero slop condition and zero lateral acceleration are discussed. After that, possible equations as vehicles path are investigated. Comparing advantages and disadvantages of 7th, 11th degree and a few other equations, followed by single mass and bicycle models lead to an improved method, which is presented in this paper.

In this study, reference path generation based on waypoints, Dubins curves and obstacle avoidance are focused. The motion of a wheeled robot vehicle is modeled by following the principles of point mass approach. While motion planning is performed, the importance of obtaining the shortest distance between two target points is illustrated. Dubins curves and waypoints are used to construct an opti...
