In dense traffic scenarios, ensuring safety while keeping high task performance for autonomous driving is a critical challenge. To address this problem, this paper proposes a computationally-efficient spatiotemporal receding horizon control (ST-RHC) scheme to generate a safe, dynamically feasible, energy-efficient trajectory in control space, where different driving tasks in dense traffic can be achieved with high accuracy and safety in real time. In particular, an embodied spatiotemporal safety barrier module considering proactive interactions is devised to mitigate the effects of inaccuracies resulting from the trajectory prediction of other vehicles. Subsequently, the motion planning and control problem is formulated as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem, which favorably facilitates the effective use of off-the-shelf optimization solvers in conjunction with multiple shooting. The effectiveness of the proposed ST …
