To be able to ensure dynamical feasibility of the planned trajectories, nonholonomic dynamics of wheeled vehicles must be considered. Nonlinear optimization based trajectory planners are proven to satisfy this need, however this happens at the expense of increasing computational effort, which jeopardizes the real-time applicability of these methods. This paper presents an algorithm which offers a solution to this problematic with a hybrid approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs). First, a nonlinear optimization based trajectory planner is presented which ensures the dynamical feasibility with the model-based prediction of the vehicle%s motion. Next, an artificial neural network is trained to reproduce the behavior of the optimization based planning algorithm with the method of supervised learning. The generation of training data happens off-line, which eliminates the concerns about the computational requirements of the optimization-based method. The trained neural network then replaces the original motion planner in on-line planning tasks which significantly reduces computational effort and thus run-time. Furthermore, the output of the network is supervised by the model based motion prediction layer of the original optimization-based algorithm and can thus always be trusted. Finally, the performance of the hybrid method is benchmarked with computer simulations in terms of dynamical feasibility and run-time and the results are investigated. Examinations show that the computation time can be significantly reduced while maintaining the feasibility of resulting vehicle motionsTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
