摘要

To overcome the limitations of existing path planning methods in handling dynamic obstacles and sudden disturbances, this paper introduces a hierarchical model predictive control (MPC) framework for intelligent vehicle obstacle avoidance. The strategy adopts a dual-layer control structure: a global planner uses the Hybrid A* algorithm to generate a kinematically feasible reference trajectory with continuous curvature, while a local controller employs a particle filter (PF) to predict the future motions and uncertainties of dynamic obstacles in real-time. These predictions are formulated into spatiotemporal constraints with probabilistic safety bounds, which are embedded in an MPC-based rolling optimization process. This framework coordinates trajectory tracking with vehicle dynamics, maintaining safe distances from obstacles while improving tracking accuracy and efficiency. Co-simulation results in CarSim/Simulink validate that the proposed approach enhances obstacle avoidance performance, driving stability, and ride comfort in complex scenarios. Moreover, it outperforms conventional methods in terms of adaptability, smoothness, and safety.
