CommonRoad Drivability Checker: Simplifying the Development and Validation of Motion Planning Algorithms

Collision avoidance, kinematic feasibility, and road-compliance must be validated to ensure the drivability of planned motions for autonomous vehicles. Although these tasks are highly repetitive, computationally efficient toolboxes are still unavailable. The CommonRoad Drivability Checker— an open-source toolbox—unifies these mentioned checks. It is compatible with the CommonRoad benchmark suite, which additionally facilitates the development of motion planners. Our toolbox drastically reduces the effort of developing and validating motion planning algorithms. Numerical experiments show that our toolbox is real-time capable and can be used in real test vehicles.      «
