1 results about "Lateral offset" patented technology

A path planning system that calculates a laterally offset path based on a maximum allowable in-track lateral offset with respect to the center of a vehicle's host lane includes one or more controllers, which contain one or more processors that execute instructions to monitor perception data collected by multiple perception sensors until an offset event is detected that requires the vehicle to deviate from an original path. In response to the detection of the offset event, the one or more controllers calculate a non-linear error component of the maximum allowable in-track lateral offset.The one or more controllers update the vehicle's laterally offset path with the maximum permissible in-track lateral offset and apply a rate limiter to the maximum permissible in-track lateral offset in real time, while instructing the vehicle to travel along the laterally offset path.
