Proactive Emergency Collision Avoidance for Automated Driving in Highway Scenarios
Uncertainty in the behavior of other traffic participants is a crucial factor in collision avoidance for automated driving; here, stochastic metrics could avoid overly conservative decisions. This paper introduces a Stochastic Model Predictive Control (SMPC) planner for emergency collision avoidance in highway scenarios to proactively minimize collision risk while ensuring safety through chance constraints. To guarantee that the emergency trajectory can be attained, we incorporate nonlinear tire dynamics in the prediction model of the ego vehicle. Further, we exploit Max-Min-Plus-Scaling (MMPS) approximations of the nonlinearities to avoid conservatism, enforce proactive collision avoidance, and improve computational efficiency in terms of performance and speed. Consequently, our contributions include integrating a dynamic ego vehicle model into the SMPC planner, introducing the MMPS approximation for real-time implementation in emergency scenarios, and integrating SMPC with hybridized chance constraints and risk minimization. We evaluate our SMPC formulation in terms of proactivity and efficiency in various hazardous scenarios. Moreover, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach by comparing it with a state-of-the-art SMPC planner and we validate that the generated trajectories can be attained using a high-fidelity vehicle model in IPG CarMaker.
