contents Lane merging is one of the critical tasks for self-driving cars, and how to perform lane-merge maneuvers effectively and safely has become one of the important standards in measuring the capability of autonomous driving systems. However, due to the ambiguity in driving intentions and right-of-way issues, the lane merging process in autonomous driving remains deficient in terms of maintaining or ceding the right-of-way and attributing liability, which could result in protracted durations for merging and problems such as trajectory oscillation. Hence, we present a rule-compliance path planner (RCPP) for lane-merge scenarios, which initially employs the extended responsibility-sensitive safety (RSS) to elucidate the right-of-way, followed by the potential field-based sigmoid planner for path generation. In the simulation, we have validated the efficacy of the proposed algorithm. The algorithm demonstrated superior performance over previous approaches in aspects such as merging time (Saved 72.3%), path length (reduced 53.4%), and eliminating the trajectory oscillation.
