Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of navigation, in particular to a path planning method and device. Background technique
[0002] The general path planning method in the field of navigation is the A* algorithm, which is the most effective method for solving the shortest path in the static road network.
[0003] The A* algorithm formula is expressed as: f(n)=g(n)+h(n), where f(n) is the evaluation function from the initial node to the target node via n nodes, and g(n) is the value in the state space The actual cost from the initial node to n nodes in h(n) is the estimated cost of the best path from n nodes to the target node. The key to ensure the condition of finding the shortest path (optimal solution) lies in the selection of the evaluation function f(n). Since g(n) in the evaluation function f(n) is fixed, the key actually lies in the selection of h(n) :
[0004] If the estimated distance value h(n) is less than or equal to the actual...
