Outline

This paper addresses the problem of traffic rule compliance in autonomous vehicles. While existing methods replan routes from scratch when traffic rules are violated, this paper proposes a route correction technique to save computational time. Combining Satisfaction Module Theory (SMT) and set-based reachability analysis, we determine whether and how the initial route can be corrected. Experiments in a high-fidelity simulator and real-world environments demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method in a variety of scenarios. Even in complex environments, the proposed method efficiently and reliably corrects violating routes, enabling autonomous vehicles to safely resume driving in real time.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Improving the efficiency of real-time route planning and correction for autonomous vehicles.
Presenting the possibility of safe and efficient route planning considering complex traffic rules.
A novel path correction technique is presented by combining SMT and set-based reachability analysis.
Validation through high-fidelity simulators and experiments in real-world environments.
Limitations:
The performance of the proposed technique may vary under various environments and circumstances (e.g., extremely crowded environments, unpredictable situations, etc.).
Limitations in generalizability due to limitations in the experimental environment.
Consideration should be given to the computational complexity of SMT solvers. In extreme situations, computational times can increase significantly.
Additional validation of applicability to various types of traffic rules is required.
