无人驾驶规划与控制是保障行驶安全的重要环节之一，现有的规划方法大多假定驾驶场景是精确感知的，忽略了行驶环境中存在的感知、定位等不确定性。忽略这些不确定性的因素将影响驾驶的安全。本文在考虑传感器数据不确定性的情况下，将系统中实际存在的定位不确定性融入规划系统，从而规划出更加安全的轨迹。

Objective
2
Autonomous driving planning methods currently assume the certainty of the information obtained. However， the actual situation contains a variety of uncertainties， and ignoring these uncertainties may lead to safety problems. The measurements provided by the sensors generally include the value of the state and the uncertainty of the state value， which is typically represented by the covariance matrix. At present， most planning methods do not utilize this uncertainty and choose to ignore it directly. These uncertainties will also have an impact on planning； when accumulated over time， the impact may even be sufficiently large to cause serious accidents. If a method or framework that can deal with this uncertainty is available， then additional reference information can be provided for the planning system， which will have a positive effect on driving safety. This paper aims to address a critical challenge in the field of autonomous driving： the effective consideration of uncertainty， particularly focusing on sensor measurement errors. In the complex and dynamic environment of autonomous driving， uncertainties can arise from various sources， posing substantial hurdles to accurate and safe planning. The study delves deep into understanding the intricacies of sensor measurement errors by concentrating on sensor uncertainty， which are vital components of perception systems in autonomous vehicles. The primary objective is to develop robust planning algorithms that can account for these uncertainties， ensuring that autonomous vehicles can make informed decisions even under imperfect or noisy sensor data. This research is pivotal for enhancing the reliability and safety of autonomous driving systems， ultimately paving the way for the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles by addressing one of the key challenges in their deployment.
Method

The methodology in this article revolves around the innovative use of the grid map， a mathematical framework employed to characterize uncertainty as the occupancy probability within a grid map. The process begins by transforming the prior map into a grid map， establishing a global reference. Subsequently， the local grid map is initialized through integration with the localization system， enabling the propagation of localization uncertainty within this localized context. The computational complexity of the planning algorithm is substantially reduced by integrating localization and sensing uncertainties into the grid graph. This integration not only streamlines the planning process but also ensures the efficient and safe generation of optimal trajectories. Path planning is executed within the Frenet coordinate system， where the occupancy probability of the grid map plays a pivotal role. This comprehensive methodology not only accounts for sensor measurement errors but also provides a systematic framework for path planning， ultimately enhancing the reliability and safety of autonomous vehicles in uncertain driving environments.

Research findings， validated through extensive simulation tests in the CARLA simulator， confirm the robustness of the proposed methodology. The integration of the approach with the robot operating system （ROS）-based system design， encompassing critical modules such as the map engine， path planning， and scene generation， proved pivotal in achieving these results. Specifically， the experiments demonstrated that considering localization uncertainty led to a notable improvement in the success rate across a range of obstacle avoidance scenarios. The proposed method exhibited exceptional performance， enabling smooth long-distance driving even in environments characterized by positioning uncertainty. The method not only ensured the safe navigation of the vehicle， effectively avoiding obstacles， but also achieved an impressive average arrival rate of over 90% in diverse obstacle avoidance scenarios. These compelling outcomes emphasize the effectiveness and reliability of the developed approach， positioning it as a promising solution for enhancing the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles in real-world driving conditions.
Conclusion

This research addresses a fundamental challenge in autonomous driving by focusing on the critical aspect of sensor measurement errors， particularly localization uncertainty. The study introduces an innovative grid-map-based planning method， implemented and rigorously tested within the CARLA simulator using the ROS framework. Through meticulous experimentation， the research demonstrates that considering localization uncertainty substantially improves the success rate in various obstacle avoidance scenarios. The proposed approach enables smooth， long-distance driving under positioning uncertainty， ensuring safe obstacle avoidance， and achieving an outstanding average arrival rate of over 90% in diverse scenarios. These results highlight the efficacy and practicality of the developed methodology， demonstrating its potential for real-world application in autonomous driving systems. Through the seamless integration of localization and sensing uncertainties into the planning algorithm， this research not only enhances the reliability and safety of autonomous vehicles but also contributes valuable insights into the ongoing efforts to make autonomous driving a mainstream reality. Future research can further improve the robustness and adaptability of autonomous driving systems by combining the grid-map-based representation framework with the uncertainty of other sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. This comprehensive approach can provide a complete and accurate environmental perception of the system， thereby increasing confidence in decision-making. Researchers can effectively simulate and understand complex situations in actual driving environments by introducing the uncertainty of multiple sensors， thereby providing a reliable foundation for the safe navigation and intelligent decision-making of autonomous vehicles. This scalable research path will have substantial implications for future research on autonomous driving， providing new directions for promoting innovation and development in this field.
