System and method for safely parking an autonomous vehicle on sensor anomaly

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method for safely parking an autonomous vehicle on sensor anomaly. Based on current position of the AV, an angular velocity and curvature required for the AV to reach a safe parking space may be determined, upon detecting non-working of at least one primary sensor associated with the AV. Further, one or more obstacles proximal to the AV may be detected using one or more secondary sensors attached to the AV. Furthermore, based on detection of the one or more obstacles, the AV may be navigated in a track by maintaining a safe distance from the one or more obstacles. Finally, the AV may be navigated along the determined curvature upon detecting absence of the one or more obstacles to reach the safe parking space at the edge of the road.
