Automating Geometric Proofs of Collision Avoidance with Active Corners kheterpal-2022-automating
Avoiding collisions between obstacles and vehicles such as cars, robots or aircraft is essential to the development of automation and autonomy. To simplify the problem, many collision avoidance algorithms and proofs consider vehicles to be a point mass, though the actual vehicles are not points. In this paper, we consider a convex polygonal vehicle with nonzero area traveling along a 2-dimensional trajectory. We derive an easily-checkable, quantifier-free formula to check whether a given obstacle will collide with the vehicle moving on the planned trajectory. We apply our method to two case studies of aircraft collision avoidance and study its performance.
