Intelligent Vehicle Park Path Planning Based on Improved Artificial Potential Field Method
摘要
In path planning with the traditional artificial potential field method (T-APF), intelligent vehicle are prone to falling into local minima when navigating complex multi-obstacle environments, resulting in target inaccessibility. Additionally, this method has inherent limitations in dynamic obstacle avoidance. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy potential field method (SA-APF) with dynamic constraints. First, a four-wheel steering kinematics model is established, and an endpoint pre-aiming strategy based on subdivided repulsive fields is designed to avoid the target unreachability caused by local minima. Then, dynamic obstacle potential fields are integrated with fuzzy control feedback on repulsion and corner to enable autonomous obstacle avoidance and speed adaptation. An MPC (Model Predictive Control) controller incorporating upper-layer state references is also designed to improve tracking accuracy. MATLAB-Carsim co-simulations and real-vehicle tests confirm SA-APF resolves local minima, boosts target accessibility, shortens paths by 10.14% with smaller curvature, and restricts lateral tracking error within 0.35 m, validating its feasibility.The above verifies the rationality of the improvement method and provides a theoretical basis for further strengthening the reliability of active obstacle avoidance of intelligent vehicles at low speeds.
