PRODRIVER Reviews

PRODRIVER Description

PRODRIVER is Embotech’s solution to the problem motion planning for highly-automated or autonomous vehicles. It is an integral part of the autonomous driving software stack. It is located in the so-called "decision making" layer. PRODRIVER, as a motion planner is responsible for generating drivable trajectories and directly actuator commands like steering, accelerating, and braking. These are calculated based on the environment information. PRODRIVER solves optimization problems in real-time by continuously making predictions. Its most important inputs include information about the drivable area, its obstacles and a goal. This could be a position or an object such as progress along a route. Its outputs can be used to direct control the vehicle, or to set-points for low-level controllers to track the vehicle. This diagram shows how PRODRIVER integrates into a typical autonomous vehicle software platform.
