Abstract

The present invention provides a local trajectory planning method and apparatus for a smart vehicle, pre-acquiring path planning information from a starting location to a destination; the method comprising: determining a target lane; sampling alternative curves from a current location of the smart vehicle to a target lane according to the path planning information; performing speed planning for the sampled alternative curves according to a current travel environment; selecting one of the alternative curves after the speed planning is performed as a target trajectory. Local trajectory planning of the smart vehicle is achieved through the present invention.
