A guaranteed collision‐free trajectory planning method for autonomous parking
IET Intelligent Transport Systems, 2021 Planning a feasible, and safe trajectory is a crucial procedure for autonomous parking which remains to be fully solved. Generally, a trajectory is depicted by a sequence of configurations which include positions, and orientations.
