Abstract
A method for determining a trajectory of an autonomous vehicle includes a first phase that is carried out while the trajectory of the vehicle is controlled manually. The first phase includes calculating a first theoretical trajectory of the vehicle, measuring a trajectory actually followed by the vehicle, and calculating a correction factor. Calculating the correction factor includes a comparison of the first theoretical trajectory with the trajectory actually followed. The method also includes a second phase that is carried out while the trajectory of the vehicle is controlled autonomously. The second phase includes calculating a second theoretical trajectory of the vehicle, and calculating a customised trajectory of the vehicle. Calculating the customised trajectory is based on the second theoretical trajectory and on the correction factor.
