Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for biasing a trajectory of a vehicle. The methods comprise: identifying a lane biasing interval of a lane in which the vehicle is to travel based on a lane width; obtaining a first reference path of travel for the vehicle that passes through the lane biasing interval; generating a second reference path of travel for the vehicle using a plurality of lateral offsets and the first reference path of travel for the vehicle; and adjusting the trajectory of the vehicle using the second reference path of travel. The lateral offsets are based on a lateral offset from each index point of the first reference path that resides in the lane biasing interval.
