Surrogate Neural Networks for Efficient Simulation-based Trajectory Planning Optimization

This paper presents a novel methodology that uses surrogate models in the form of neural networks to reduce the computation time of simulation-based optimization of a reference trajectory. Simulation-based optimization is necessary when there is no analytical form of the system accessible, only inpu...
