Abstract
An active safety framework performs trajectory planning, threat assessment, and semi-autonomous control of passenger vehicles in a unified, optimal fashion. The vehicle navigation task is formulated as a constrained optimal control problem. A predictive, model-based controller iteratively plans an optimal or best-case vehicle trajectory through the constrained corridor. This best-case scenario is used to establish the minimum threat posed to the vehicle given its current state, current and past driver inputs/performance, and environmental conditions. Based on this threat assessment, the level of controller intervention required to prevent collisions or instability is calculated and driver/controller inputs are scaled accordingly. This approach minimizes controller intervention while ensuring that the vehicle does not depart from a traversable corridor. It also provides a unified architecture into which various vehicle models, actuation modes, trajectory-planning objectives, driver preferences, and levels of autonomy can be seamlessly integrated without changing the underlying controller structure.

- Automotive active safety systems are concerned with preventing accidents through the introduction of various computer-controlled actuation methods to improve driver braking and steering performance. Current active safety systems include yaw stability control, roll stability control, traction control, and antilock braking, among others. While these systems reduce accident frequency, they are fundamentally reactive in nature: their intervention is based on current vehicle (and, possibly, road surface) conditions. Because they do not utilize 1) sensory information related to the vehicle surroundings or 2) a prediction of the vehicle's path through its surroundings, they have limited ability to assess the threat of impending accidents, and thus cannot exert corrective actions to avoid them.
- Active navigation systems, such as the one described here, aim to avoid accidents by utilizing sensory information related to the vehicle surroundings and a prediction of a safe vehicle trajectory through those surroundings to exert appropriate actuator effort to avoid impending accidents. Sensory information would include data related to nearby vehicles, pedestrians, road edges, and other salient features to assess accident threat.
- Such navigation systems ideally operate only during instances of significant threat: it should give a driver full control of the vehicle in low threat situations but apply appropriate levels of computer-controlled actuator effort during high threat situations. An active navigation system can therefore be termed semi-autonomous, since it must allow for human-controlled, computer-controlled, and shared human/computer vehicle operation. Such a system should be as unobtrusive to the driver as possible (i.e. it should intervene only as much as is minimally required to avoid an impending accident).
- The semi-autonomous active navigation system described here satisfies all of the above requirements and desired characteristics. Further, it provides a framework into which various distinct sensing and actuation modes can be easily incorporated. The system's method for threat assessment and computer-controlled intervention can potentially be modified in real time based on the scenario, environmental conditions, driver preference, or past driver performance.
FIG. 1 shows, schematically, in block diagram form, a basic framework operation. - This semi-autonomous vehicle navigation system predicts an optimal (with respect to a pre-defined, configurable set of criteria) vehicle trajectory from the current position through a finite time horizon given a model of the environment, a model of the vehicle, the vehicle's current state, and a corresponding optimal set of control inputs (also calculated by the system). The environment model can be based on a priori known information (e.g. from maps) and/or information gathered by real time sensors, such as on-vehicle sensors (e.g. cameras and laser rangefinders), and can include information related to the position of road edges, static obstacles (e.g. trees, road-side signs), and dynamic obstacles (e.g. other vehicles, pedestrians). The vehicle model is user-defined and can be of varying complexity and fidelity. The real-time sensors may also be mounted in the environment and communicate with the control system on the vehicle.
- The predicted safe vehicle trajectory (and associated control inputs to yield such a trajectory) is found such that it satisfies a configurable set of trajectory requirements, including, for example, that the vehicle position remain within a safe driving corridor, that the vehicle sideslip angle not exceed the safe limit of vehicle handling, that tire friction forces not exceed a surface friction-limited value, and others. The control inputs can be associated with one or multiple actuators, such as active steering, active braking, and others. The predicted vehicle trajectory and associated control inputs may be computed via constrained optimal control, which leverages efficient optimization methods and constraint-handling capabilities.
- At successive discrete sampling instants, the predicted vehicle trajectory and control inputs are analyzed to assess the threat to the vehicle by computing a configurable metric, such as the maximum lateral acceleration, sideslip angle, or roll angle over the trajectory, the minimum proximity to obstacles, or others. The control authority exerted by the system is then determined as a function of this computed threat: generally speaking, if the threat metric value is low, the control system intervention is low (i.e. the driver commands the vehicle with little or no computer-controlled intervention); if the threat metric value is high, the control system intervention is high. The form of the intervention law modulating this control system authority is configurable and can differ for different actuators (i.e. a vehicle with both active steering and braking can have distinct intervention laws defined for the steering actuator and the braking actuators). The intervention law can also be defined to adapt to driver performance based on an assessment of driver skill, and/or to include considerations for driver preference, environmental conditions, previous threat metric values, previous control inputs, and other factors.
FIG. 2 shows, schematically, examples of various potential intervention laws, showing, from top to bottom, linear, smooth and threshold-shaped intervention laws that depend only on predicted threat. The vertical axis represents the degree of control authority given to the active navigation and control system while the horizontal axis represents the predicted threat, with cause for intervention increasing from left to right. - In the system described above, as the threat metric value increases, indicating that the predicted vehicle trajectory will near a pre-defined critical vehicle state(s) (such as spatial location, lateral acceleration, or tire friction saturation), the control system begins to assume control authority to preempt an unsafe maneuver. As the threat metric decreases, the controller's authority phases out. In this manner, the system can said to be semi-autonomous.
- Note that in extreme cases, when the driver does not perform an appropriate corrective action, it is conceivable that a required hazard avoidance maneuver will reach vehicle handling limits. To account for such scenarios, the intervention law can be designed such that it assumes full authority by the time the predicted safe trajectory reaches the limit of any pre-defined critical vehicle states. This corresponds to a situation where only an optimal set of inputs would result in a safe vehicle trajectory.
-
FIG. 3 shows schematically an obstacle avoidance scenario illustrating different stages of intervention for an inattentive driver.FIG. 4 shows, schematically, in flow chart form, a basic flow of logic performed by a controller of an invention hereof, with possible considerations at each step. - An initial step calculates an optimal set of control inputs and corresponding vehicle trajectory. Considerations for this step include, for example, (but are not limited to) the vehicle dynamics, current state of the vehicle and environment, terrain and environmental disturbances, available actuation, trajectory objectives, safety limits, and driver inputs.
- A next step is to assess the predicted threat to the vehicle. Considerations for this step include characteristics of the optimal path and associated control input, safety limits and driver inputs. A next step is to calculate control authority gains, with a major consideration at this stage being the desired intervention characteristic. The next step is to implement the scaled control for the current time.
- Simulation experiments have been conducted.
FIG. 5 shows, graphically, the results of a simulated test illustrating system response when a driver fails to navigate a curve in the road, shown by a light gray line. The trajectory that the driver would have followed without assistance is shown dashed. With assistance, it is shown solid black. Note that in this embodiment of the invention, K represents proportion of control authority given to the autonomous system, with the driver allowed the remaining (1-K). The middle graph shows the steer inputs, with the dashed line corresponding to the driver and the solid curve corresponding to the control system. The lower graph shows the control authority given to the autonomous system, in this case, steering, with the degree varying with distance (x) along the horizontal scale. -
FIG. 6 shows, graphically, the results of a simulated test illustrating the system response to an erroneous driver swerve. Again, K represents proportion of control authority given to autonomous system, with the driver allowed the remaining (1-K). The same line types as above correspond to the driver without assistance (gray dashed) and with assistance (solid line). The safe roadway is shown in light gray solid lines in the upper graph. Distance is shown along the horizontal scale. -
FIG. 7 shows, graphically, a simulated test illustrating system response when a driver fails to anticipate/avoid an obstacle. Again, K represents the proportion of control authority given to autonomous system. The obstacle is simulated by a jog in the light gray line that represents the safe roadway. The only inputs used in this simulation are, again, steering of the driver and the autonomous system. - Significant advantages stem from the predictive nature of this solution. In addition to considering past and current vehicle and driver actions to assess threat and determine control authority, the current solution predicts a future vehicle trajectory and associated threat, and uses this prediction to schedule control authority.
- This predictive nature also allows for a more accurate assessment of threat than is otherwise possible. While other threat assessment metrics rely on highly simplified physics-based calculations, the metrics used in the current solution can derive from sophisticated vehicle and environmental models. These models yield more accurate threat assessments by considering the effects of terrain conditions, environmental disturbances, and physical limitations of vehicle actuators. These models can also assess threat for more complex vehicle trajectories than is possible with simplified models.
- Finally, this system provides improved modularity and adaptability when compared to previous solutions. Its underlying control framework can accommodate multiple actuation modes and vehicle models, allowing for ready application of the system to various vehicle types and actuator configurations. The system's intervention law is also readily adapted (i.e. it can change over time based on an assessment of driver skill, driver preference, environmental conditions, previous threat metric values, previous control inputs, and other factors). These adaptations can be performed either statically or dynamically.
- An important aspect of inventions disclosed herein is a method for generating a set of machine control inputs for semi-autonomously controlling a vehicle operating in an environment, with a variable degree of human operator control relative to the degree of machine control. The method comprises the steps of: predicting an optimal vehicle trajectory from a current position through a time horizon; assessing a predicted threat to the vehicle and generating a corresponding threat metric; based on the threat metric, generating at least one control authority gain; and generating at least one machine control optimal input; and generating at least one machine control scaled input, based on the machine control optimal input and the control authority gain. In this manner, the degree of machine control of the vehicle relative to the degree of human operator control of the vehicle varies depending on the control authority gain.
- With a closely related method, the step of predicting an optimal vehicle trajectory is based on: a model of the environment; a model of the vehicle; the vehicle's current state; driver inputs; and a corresponding optimal set of control inputs.
- For another important related method, the step of assessing a predicted threat is based on: characteristics of optimal vehicle path and associated control input; environmentally imposed safety constraints; and driver inputs.
- Still another important aspect has the step of generating at least one machine control scaled input being based on an intervention characteristic. In such a case, the intervention characteristic may be chosen from the group consisting of: a linear function of current and past predicted threat, and current and past control input; and a nonlinear function of current and past predicted threat, and current and past control input.
