Clothoid-Based Lane-Level High-Definition Maps
Autonomous vehicles rely on lane-level high-definition (HD) maps for self-localization and trajectory planning. Current mapping, however, relies on simple line models, while clothoid curves have unexplored potential. Clothoids, well known in road design, are often chosen to model the vehicle trajectory in planning and control systems as they describe the road with higher … [Read more...] about Clothoid-Based Lane-Level High-Definition Maps
