Cartesian Planner ROS Package

C++/ROS Source Codes for "Autonomous Driving on Curvy Roads without Reliance on Frenet Frame: A Cartesian-based Trajectory Planning Method" published in IEEE Trans. Intelligent Transportation Systems by Bai Li, Yakun Ouyang, Li Li, and Youmin Zhang.

Installation

1. Request ma27 linear solver code from HSL for IPOPT, follow the installation instructions from IPOPT HSL autotools.

2. Install deb package from CASADi Releases.

   sudo dpkg -i libcasadi-v3.5.5.deb

3. Clone repository to any catkin workspace and compile workspace

   cd ~/catkin_ws/src
   git clone https://github.com/libai1943/CartesianPlanner.git
   cd .. && catkin_make

Example

Random test case with 6 pedestrians, 3 moving vehicles and 2 static vehicles.

roslaunch cartesian_planner pedestrian_test.launch

Click anywhere in Rviz window with the 2D Nav Goal Tool to start planning.
