METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A VEHICLE PATH

摘要

A method and apparatus for generating a representation of a vehicle path for display via a computer is disclosed, which involves receiving start location information including a start location and an initial orientation of the vehicle and end location information including a desired end location of the vehicle, and receiving a selection of a vehicle defined by parameters that define a turning behaviour of the vehicle. The method involves receiving constraint information identifying at least one constraint to passage of the vehicle between the start and end locations and causing a processor circuit to generate a vehicle path for travel between the start and end locations, the vehicle path based on the turning behaviour of the vehicle and being generated such that the vehicle path remains within the at least one constraint.

1. A method for generating a representation of a vehicle path for display via a computer, the method comprising:
receiving start location information at an interface of the computer, the start location information including a start location and an initial orientation of the vehicle at the start location; receiving end location information at the interface, the end location information including a desired end location of the vehicle; receiving at the interface, a selection of a vehicle for which the vehicle path is to be generated, the vehicle being defined by vehicle parameters that define a turning behaviour of the vehicle; receiving constraint information at the interface, the constraint information identifying at least one constraint to passage of the vehicle between the start location and the end location; and causing a processor circuit of the computer to generate at least one vehicle path for travel of the vehicle between the start location and the end location, the vehicle path being based on the turning behaviour of the vehicle and being generated such that the vehicle path remains within the at least one constraint.
