Abstract
This paper considers the path planning problem for an autonomous vehicle in an urban environment populated with static obstacles and moving vehicles with uncertain intents. We propose a novel threat assessment module, consisting of an intention predictor and a threat assessor, which augments the host vehicle's path planner with a real-time threat value representing the risks posed by the estimated intentions of other vehicles. This new threat-aware planning approach is applied to the CL-RRT path planning framework, used by the MIT team in the 2007 DARPA Grand Challenge. The strengths of this approach are demonstrated through simulation and experiments performed in the RAVEN testbed facilities.
