Method and system for generating a safe navigation path for navigating a driverless vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of generating a safe navigation path for navigating a driverless vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a path generating system, one or more pre-generated paths between a source point and a destination point and an environmental data corresponding to each of the one or more pre-generated paths from one or more sources in real-time;
identifying, by the path generating system, one or more navigation points in real-time based on the environmental data and one or more vehicle capability characteristics and one or more vehicle parameters by tracing virtual rays in a preconfigured angle range up to a preconfigured distance from each of one or more originating points along each of the one or more pre-generated paths, wherein identifying the one or more navigation points comprises;
realigning position of the traced virtual rays from an originating point in different angles until the traced virtual rays escape one or more obstacles;
identifying the originating point as the navigation point and proceeding for at least one of a preconfigured forward distance or a dynamically generated forward distance to obtain subsequent originating points; and
performing steps of re-aligning and identifying for each of the obtained subsequent originating points until the destination point is reached; and
linking, by the path generating system, the one or more navigation points based on one or more predefined techniques to generate the safe navigation path for navigating the driverless vehicle.

Abstract
The present disclosure in the field of automobile engineering is a method and system for generating a safe navigation path for navigating a driverless vehicle. A path generating system receives one or more pre-generated paths between source point and destination point and an environmental data corresponding to each pre-generated path from one or more sources in real-time. Further, the path generating system identifies one or more navigation points in real-time based on the environmental data, vehicle capability characteristics and vehicle parameters by tracing virtual rays in a preconfigured angle range up to preconfigured distance from each of one or more originating points along each of the one or more pre-generated paths. Finally, the path generating system links the navigation points based on predefined techniques to generate the safe navigation path for navigating driverless vehicle. In the present disclosure, safe navigation path is generated without usage of any sensor.

10. A path generating system for generating a safe navigation path for navigating a driverless vehicle, the path generating system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to; receive one or more pre-generated paths between a source point and a destination point and an environmental data corresponding to each of the one or more pre-generated paths from one or more sources in real-time; identify one or more navigation points in real-time based on the environmental data and one or more vehicle capability characteristics and one or more vehicle parameters by tracing virtual rays in a preconfigured angle range up to a preconfigured distance from each of one or more originating points along each of the one or more pre-generated paths, wherein the processor-executable instructions causing the processor to identify the one or more navigation points further causes the processor to; realign position of the traced virtual rays from an originating point in different angles until the traced virtual rays escape one or more obstacles; identify the originating point as the navigation point and proceeding for at least one of a preconfigured forward distance or a dynamically generated forward distance to obtain subsequent originating points; and perform steps of re-aligning and identifying for each of the obtained subsequent originating points until the destination point is reached; and link the one or more navigation points based on one or more predefined techniques to generate the safe navigation path for navigating the driverless vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
