Abstract
A method for generating operable driving areas for an autonomous driving vehicle based on a path trajectory of the autonomous driving vehicle is provided. The method may form a space time (ST) graph indicating a distance of travel along the path trajectory with respect to time of the autonomous driving vehicle and path trajectories of devices intersecting with the path trajectory of the autonomous driving vehicle, wherein the path trajectory of each device is based on current and historical data for each device. The method may segment the ST graph into cells, wherein viable cells represent discretized viable unoccupied spaces in the ST graph. The method may find passage ways for the autonomous driving vehicle based on the viable cells. The method may select a desired passage way using quadratic programming (QP) optimization when multiple passage ways are found.
