Abstract:

To meet the demands for hard real time and high tracking accuracy in dynamic path planning problems, a solver based on the improved multivariant optimization algorithm (IMOA) which can simultaneously locate and track multiple optimal and sub-optimal paths is proposed. Firstly, the dynamic path planning problems are transferred into the dynamic optimization problems by defining a path with a Bezier curve. Then, the probability of tracking different optimal and sub-optimal solutions simultaneously is improved through introducing a similarity check operation into multivariate optimization algorithm (MOA). Finally, the IMOA is applied to optimize the control points of Bezier curve. Experiment results show that once the optimal path becomes less optimal or infeasible, the IMOA, by making use of its characteristics of tracking multiple dynamic optimal and suboptimal solutions, has the ability to quickly adjust optimization strategy to refine other suboptimal paths in the purpose of finding the optimal path again. What is more, the overall offline performance is improved compared with other algorithms. The presented IMOA method is adaptable to the dynamic path planning problems and meets the real demands in dynamic environments.
