Spatiotemporal Tube-Based Safety-Certificate for Autonomous Navigation of Articulated Vehicles
Articulated vehicles are the workhorses of freight transportation, and their autonomous navigation is challenging. Their physical characteristics and motion constraints pose significant challenges in manoeuvring these vehicles on narrow routes. This paper presents a spatiotemporal tube-based approach to plan autonomous navigation of vehicles like tractor semi-trailers, truck/ tractor trailers, towing Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and road trains. This planning approach provides a certified path plan for the truck or tractor, ensuring that the towed series of trailers always remains within the road corridor, limited by permissible corrections. The planning leverages the kinematics of the linked elements along with sway constraints to arrive at a safe tube for the actuated prime mover. We modify the spatiotemporal tube using permissible corrections to provide a route safety certificate to the vehicle for the given route. The proposed planning method is verified on a truck-trailer navigation simulation for a complex route.
