    摘要: A system and method including receiving a digital representation of a road that includes one or more lane representations; defining a factor graph including variable nodes and constraint nodes that encode lane boundary constraints for the lane map; translating the factor graph into a nonlinear optimization problem for altitudes of the lane map; generating a solution to the optimization problem; and generating a corrected lane map with an optimized altitude for the road based on the generated solution.

    摘要: Provided is a system and method that can control a speed of an autonomous vehicle when approaching a vehicle on a shoulder based on a piecewise linear function. Further, the system and method may determine whether to perform a lane change based on various factors. In one example, the method may include storing a piecewise linear function, detecting a vehicle on a shoulder (VOS) of a road based on sensor data sensed by one or more sensors of an ego vehicle approaching the VOS, determining that the VOS is within a predefined distance of the ego vehicle, and in response to the determination, controlling the ego vehicle to slow down and then speed up based on the piecewise linear function.

    摘要: Provided are systems and methods for controlling a vehicle based on a map that designed using a factor graph. Because the map is designed using a factor graph, positions of the road can be modified in real-time while operating the vehicle. In one example, the method may include storing a map which is associated with a factor graph of variable nodes representing a plurality of constraints that define positions of lane lines in a road and factor nodes between the variable nodes on the factor graph which define positioning constraints amongst the variable nodes, receiving an indication from the road using a sensor of a vehicle, updating positions of the variable nodes based on the indication and an estimated location of the vehicle within the map, and issue commands capable of controlling a steering operation of the vehicle based on the updated positions of the factor nodes.

    摘要: A system and method including receiving a plurality of messages generated by a vehicle, each of the messages being associated with an indicated topic; initializing one or more state machines, each state machine preconfigured with a one or more specified state parameters to define a specific scenario, the initializing commencing an execution of the one or more state machines; querying the plurality of messages by the one or more state machines, each state machine querying for messages having an indicated topic associated with the querying state machine; updating, at one or more of a sequence of time intervals of a time period, the one or more state machines based on state transitions determined for each state machine; updating, based on each of the one or more state machines, a scenario record for each of the one or more state machines; and storing the updated scenario record in a data store.
