Abstract: A method of controlling an autonomous vehicle, which is movable on a surface, includes obtaining a model (world model) of the surface, by which each area of the surface is associated with a probabilistic occupancy score; determining, on the basis of the area's position, an occupancy threshold to be applied to an area of the surface; enabling movement of the AV into the area if the associated occupancy score is less than the determined occupancy threshold; and otherwise disabling movement into the area. In one embodiment, where the model is obtained or updated based on measurement data from one or more sensors carried by the autonomous vehicle, the occupancy threshold is determined to be relatively lower if the area is outside a field of view of the sensors carried by the AV and relatively higher if the area is inside the field of view.

Abstract: A computer system comprising a processor device configured to determine at least one travelling path for at least one vehicle is provided. The processor device is further configured to obtain an indication of wear of a drivable surface. The drivable surface comprising a set of surface areas. The indication of wear is indicative of a wear of each respective surface area in the set of surface areas. The processor device is further configured to, based on the indicated wear of the set of surface areas of the drivable surface, determine the at least one travelling path for the at least one vehicle.

Abstract: A method for planning a driving trajectory defining a travelling path for a vehicle, wherein the driving trajectory is intended to be followed by executing one or more vehicle manoeuvres and wherein the vehicle comprises at least one environment perception sensor having a sensor field of view he method includes planning the driving trajectory from a first point to a second point, by including at least one additional vehicle manoeuvre resulting in a deviation from an otherwise expected travelling path from the first point to the second point, so that each section of an area which the vehicle is intended to pass from the first point to the second point is covered in the sensor field of view at least one time during driving from the first point to the second point and at least before passing each respective section.
