基于障碍物属性的多模态规划,让四轮独立转向车更聪明地停进窄位。
Multimodal Classification Network Guided Trajectory Planning for Four-Wheel Independent Steering Autonomous Parking Considering Obstacle Attributes
- 融合视觉与车辆状态的神经网络感知场景,动态调整策略
- 区分不可通过、可跨越、可碾压障碍,提升规划效率30%以上
- 支持多种转向模式,适合复杂狭窄环境的自动驾驶停车
四轮独立转向(4WIS)车辆因操控性能优越备受关注。人类驾驶员常选择穿越或碾压低矮障碍物(如塑料袋)以高效通过狭窄空间,但现有规划方法忽略障碍物属性,导致效率低下或失败。为此,本文提出一种新型多模态轨迹规划框架:利用神经网络进行场景感知,结合4WIS混合A*搜索生成初始路径,再通过最优控制问题(OCP)优化轨迹。具体而言,采用融合视觉信息与车辆状态的多模态感知网络,实现对场景语义与上下文的理解,使规划器能根据任务复杂度(简单或复杂)自适应调整策略。对于复杂任务,引入引导点分解为局部子任务,提升搜索效率。同时,将4WIS车辆的阿克曼、对角线和零转弯三种转向模式作为可行运动基元。此外,设计分层障碍处理策略,将障碍分为“不可通过”、“可跨越”和“可碾压”三类,并融入节点扩展过程,显式关联障碍属性与规划动作,实现高效决策。针对动态障碍的运动不确定性,引入概率风险场模型,构建风险感知驾驶走廊,作为OCP中的线性碰撞约束。实验表明,该框架在受限环境中能生成安全、高效且平滑的轨迹,显著优于传统方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Four-wheel Independent Steering (4WIS) vehicles have attracted increasing attention for their superior maneuverability. Human drivers typically choose to cross or drive over the low-profile obstacles (e.g., plastic bags) to efficiently navigate through narrow spaces, while existing planners neglect obstacle attributes, leading to suboptimal efficiency or planning failures. To address this issue, we propose a novel multimodal trajectory planning framework that employs a neural network for scene perception, combines 4WIS hybrid A* search to generate a warm start, and utilizes an optimal control problem (OCP) for trajectory optimization. Specifically, a multimodal perception network fusing visual information and vehicle states is employed to capture semantic and contextual scene understanding, enabling the planner to adapt the strategy according to scene complexity (hard or easy task). For hard tasks, guided points are introduced to decompose complex tasks into local subtasks, improving the search efficiency. The multiple steering modes of 4WIS vehicles, Ackermann, diagonal, and zero-turn, are also incorporated as kinematically feasible motion primitives. Moreover, a hierarchical obstacle handling strategy, which categorizes obstacles as "non-traversable", "crossable", and "drive-over", is incorporated into the node expansion process, explicitly linking obstacle attributes to planning actions to enable efficient decisions. Furthermore, to address dynamic obstacles with motion uncertainty, we introduce a probabilistic risk field model, constructing risk-aware driving corridors that serve as linear collision constraints in OCP. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed framework's effectiveness in generating safe, efficient, and smooth trajectories for 4WIS vehicles, especially in constrained environments.
