This paper proposed a lane-change planning method for autonomous vehicle, aiming at fast obstacles avoidance in a way that make smooth and comfortable. The panning algorithm consists of dynamic programming and closed-loop forward simulation. The dynamic programming (DP) was employed to fast search a reference trajectory that avoids obstacles in topological configure space. And the closed-loop forward simulation (CFS) was used to track the reference trajectory for generating smooth trajectory, since the CFS being able to incorporate any nonlinear law and nonlinear vehicle constraints. Furthermore, an anti-windup lateral controller was designed to make the closed-loop forward simulation robust, as the controller being proved to be stable by Lyapunov function. Finally, the numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
