Towards Safe Autonomous Driving: A Real-Time Safeguarding Concept for Motion Planning Algorithms
- 引入时间一致性监测,实时验证路径规划的及时性
- 在实时操作系统上实现,检测到不安全轨迹且满足实时约束
- 适合车载嵌入式系统部署,尤其关注功能安全的开发者
确保自动驾驶车辆中运动规划模块的功能安全性仍是一项关键挑战,尤其是在处理复杂或基于学习的软件时。在线验证已成为运行时监控此类系统的一种有前景的方法,但其在嵌入式实时环境中的集成仍有限。本文提出一种运动规划的防护概念,扩展了先前方法,引入了时间防护机制。现有方法主要关注几何与动态可行性,而本方法额外监测规划输出的时间一致性,以确保系统及时响应。在实时操作系统上实现原型,通过基于约束的可行性检查和基于成本的合理性度量评估轨迹候选。初步结果显示,该防护模块在实时范围内运行,并能有效检测不安全轨迹。然而,时间防护逻辑与回退策略的完整集成仍在进行中。本研究贡献了一个模块化且可扩展的运行时轨迹验证框架,并强调了在车载级硬件上部署的关键方面。未来工作包括完成防护逻辑,并通过硬件在环仿真和实车测试验证其有效性。代码已公开:https://github.com/TUM-AVS/motion-planning-supervisor
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ensuring the functional safety of motion planning modules in autonomous vehicles remains a critical challenge, especially when dealing with complex or learning-based software. Online verification has emerged as a promising approach to monitor such systems at runtime, yet its integration into embedded real-time environments remains limited. This work presents a safeguarding concept for motion planning that extends prior approaches by introducing a time safeguard. While existing methods focus on geometric and dynamic feasibility, our approach additionally monitors the temporal consistency of planning outputs to ensure timely system response. A prototypical implementation on a real-time operating system evaluates trajectory candidates using constraint-based feasibility checks and cost-based plausibility metrics. Preliminary results show that the safeguarding module operates within real-time bounds and effectively detects unsafe trajectories. However, the full integration of the time safeguard logic and fallback strategies is ongoing. This study contributes a modular and extensible framework for runtime trajectory verification and highlights key aspects for deployment on automotive-grade hardware. Future work includes completing the safeguarding logic and validating its effectiveness through hardware-in-the-loop simulations and vehicle-based testing.
