This research focuses on developing algorithms for environmental perception and local path planning to improve passenger safety and comfort while addressing challenges in urban environments and extreme weather.The study has two primary objectives. The first is to create an optimal local path-planning strategy that prioritizes passenger safety and comfort in dynamic urban settings. The second is to develop a robust perception system capable of detecting objects reliably in low-light and adverse weather conditions.The proposed methods include integrating the RRT-ACS algorithm, bi-directional rule templates, and a time-space configuration to improve path planning. For perception, a hybrid model combining MIRSA-based denoising with YOLOV7MOD object detection enhances reliability under challenging conditions. Results confirm the effectiveness of these approaches, showcasing improved safety, comfort, and adaptability in autonomous vehicle navigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keyword:<\/strong> Autonomous Vehicles, Local Path Planning, Perception System, Safety, Comfort<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction<\/strong><br \/>\nAutonomous vehicles (AVs) are revolutionizing the transportation industry with promises of safer roads, reduced traffic congestion, and improved passenger experiences. However, achieving seamless AV operation in urban environments presents unique challenges. Urban settings are characterized by dynamic traffic conditions, complex road structures, and unpredictable behaviors of other road users. Furthermore, adverse weather conditions, such as fog, rain, and low-light scenarios, severely impair the perception systems of AVs.<\/p>\n<p>To address these challenges, this research focuses on two critical aspects:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Local Path Planning<\/strong>: Ensuring AVs navigate safely and efficiently in dynamic urban scenarios by combining advanced algorithms and predictive models to handle uncertainty and maintain smooth motion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perception System<\/strong>: Enhancing object detection reliability through robust image denoising and recognition techniques to ensure AVs can perceive their surroundings accurately even in poor visibility<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This research aims to integrate cutting-edge algorithms for path planning and perception to improve safety, comfort, and adaptability of AVs in real-world urban environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Method<\/strong><br \/>\nThis research employs a dual-focused approach addressing two critical aspects of autonomous vehicle systems: local path planning and perception.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>For <strong>local path planning<\/strong>, the RRT+BRT+CTS framework integrates three core elements. First, the RRT-ACS algorithm combines Rapidly Exploring Random Tree and Ant Colony System techniques to optimize pathfinding efficiency. Second, the integration of Bi- directional Rule Templates enables adaptive maneuvering by growing trees from both the starting and goal nodes until a connection is formed, producing smooth and collision-free Third, the inclusion of Time-Space Configuration adds temporal data to spatial planning, allowing the system to consider real-time traffic conditions and ensure safety during navigation. Figure 1 depicts the application of this framework in a dynamic urban intersection.<\/li>\n<li>For <strong>perception<\/strong>, the MIRSA+YOLOV7MOD framework enhances object detection under challenging weather conditions. The MIRSA module, based on a modified MIRNet-v2, effectively denoises images impacted by fog, rain, and low-light scenarios, further refined using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The YOLOV7MOD module then processes these clean images for accurate object detection, leveraging advanced convolutional architectures. The system was trained using a Low-Light and Rainy Traffic Image Dataset (LLD) to ensure its robustness in real-world scenarios. Figure 2 showcases the system\u2019s performance in detecting objects in foggy conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fullwidth\" ><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1734169162466 vc_row-o-content-bottom vc_row-flex\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/stei.itb.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Space-Configuration-for-Path.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"Time-Space Configuration for Path\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Figure 1.
