Abstract

Path generation and modification are very important issues in the operation of automated vehicles. The pertaining processing time and accuracy in real time often depend on the type of solution algorithm. In this paper, a gradient-free optimization algorithm has been used for Bezier curve-based base path modification for passing through the designated via-point. The strength of nonlinear simplex optimizer in the limited three-dimensional solution space is added with the features of no requirement of computing derivatives and smooth objective function. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the method using gradient-based optimizer through computer simulation results.
