METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING LANE CHANGE FEASIBILITY FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Abstract:

A method and system for determining lane change feasibility for autonomous vehicles is disclosed. The method includes the steps of tracking, in each frame, at least one neighboring vehicle from a plurality of neighboring vehicles in a current lane being used by the AV and in a plurality of adjacent lanes. The method further includes determining, in each frame, a set of kinematic parameters associated with each of the at least one neighboring vehicle, and assigning an occupancy state from a plurality of occupancy states to each of a plurality of voxels capturing a spatial information for each of the plurality of neighboring vehicles. The method may further includes determining an effective occupancy probability for each of the plurality of adjacent lanes, and determining feasibility of lane change for the AV to at least one adjacent lane from the plurality of adjacent lanes.
