Abstract
An autonomous commercial vehicle transporting oversized loads is controlled based on sensor data determined by environment sensors of the commercial vehicle and/or data of a digital map. Navigable areas including lanes in the direction of and against the direction of travel and hard shoulders are determined in the form of respective polygons, in which the autonomous commercial vehicle may be present. The behavior of the autonomous commercial vehicle is determined depending on the navigable areas, objects identified on the basis of the sensor data, and an intrinsic movement estimation. At least one corridor command is transmitted to a movement planning module, which plans a trajectory and/or a path of the commercial vehicle with avoidance of a collision with identified objects. The planned trajectory and/or the planned path are/is fed to a movement control module, which controls the autonomous commercial vehicle such that it follows the planned trajectory and/or the planned path.
