Multilevel Path Planning For Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

A system that performs automatic path planning for an autonomous land vehicle is described. It uses three levels of planning: a mission planner, a long range planner, and a local planner. The system relies both on a digital database and sensor-based information to plan a route, and it has been implemented as a software simulation for robotic vehicles.© (1984) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
