Continuous-curvature path planning for car-like vehicles

Abstract
In this paper, we consider path planning for a car-like vehicle. Previous solutionsto this problem computed paths made up of circular arcs connected bytangential line segments. Such paths have a non continuous curvature profile.Accordingly a vehicle following such a path has to stop at each curvature discontinuityin order to reorient its front wheels. To remove this limitation, weadd a continuous-curvature constraint to the problem at hand. In addition, weintroduce a constraint on the...
