Research Status of Intelligent Electric Vehicle Trajectory Planning and Its Key Technologies: A Review

Abstract

Electrochemical energy storage technology has the characteristics of convenient use, fast response, and flexible configuration. At present, the energy storage technology used in smart electric vehicles is mainly electrochemical energy storage technology. In particular, the promotion of electrochemical energy storage technology in the field of smart electric vehicles is an effective way to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. One of the most critical issues limiting the development and popularity of intelligent electric vehicles is the performance and range of power batteries; vehicle path planning is very important to the performance of power batteries and the driving range. Improved path planning algorithms can obviously shorten the path length and reduce the time of searching and planning a path under the condition of the same starting point and end point, that is, to increase the range of the power battery. On the premise of the comprehensive analysis of the intelligent electric vehicle’s grasp of environmental information, trajectory planning methods are divided into local trajectory planning and global trajectory planning methods. The main content of the trajectory planning method is given, the key technologies involved in the research are discussed, and its advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Finally, the main development trends of intelligent electric vehicle trajectory planning technology in the future are proposed.
