Abstract: An example method of controlling a vehicle using a multi-node computational architecture includes receiving, by a first computational node, waypoints and vehicle states, and generating a first control command set for motion of the vehicle in a lateral direction with a first complexity and a second control command set for motion in a longitudinal direction with a second complexity that is less than the first complexity. A second computational node, operating in parallel with the first computational node, is used to generate a third control command set for motion in the longitudinal direction with the first complexity. The method further includes selecting, by a control arbitrator and based on the vehicle states and health status indications of the first and second computational nodes, either the second control command set or the third control command set, and outputting the selected control command set, which is used to control the vehicle.

Abstract: Described is a two-level optimal path planning process for autonomous tractor-trailer trucks which incorporates offline planning, online planning, and utilizing online estimation and perception results for adapting a planned path to real-world changes in the driving environment. In one aspect, a method of navigating an autonomous vehicle includes determining, by an online server, a current vehicle state of the autonomous vehicle in a mapped driving area. The method includes receiving, by the online server from an offline path library, a path for the autonomous driving vehicle through the mapped driving area from the current vehicle state to a destination vehicle state, and receiving fixed and moving obstacle information. The method includes adjusting the path to generate an optimized path that avoids the fixed and moving obstacles and ends at a targeted final vehicle state, and navigating the autonomous vehicle based on the optimized path.
