Abstract
A method is provided for autonomously operating a vehicle. The method includes receiving, at a processor, at least vehicle state data and vehicle object environment data; generating, with the processor, an optimal path for the vehicle with a cost function based on the vehicle state data and the vehicle object environment data; identifying, with the processor, at least one critical condition constraint based on at least one of the vehicle or vehicle environment; modifying, with the processor, at least a first portion of the optimal path based on the at least one critical condition constraint to result in a short-range trajectory portion; generating a resulting trajectory with the short-range trajectory portion; and implementing the resulting trajectory on the vehicle.
