    abstract = {The computation time required to solve nonconvex, nonlinear optimization problems increases rapidly with their size. This poses a challenge in trajectory planning for multiple networked vehicles with collision avoidance. In the centralized formulation, the optimization problem size increases with the number of vehicles in the networked control system (NCS), rendering the formulation unusable for experiments. We investigate two methods to decrease the complexity of networked trajectory planning. First, we approximate the optimization problem by discretizing the vehicle dynamics with an automaton, which turns it into a graph-search problem. Our search-based trajectory planning algorithm has a limited horizon to further decrease computation complexity. We achieve recursive feasibility by design of the automaton which models the vehicle dynamics. Second, we distribute the optimization problem to the vehicles with prioritized distributed model predictive control (P-DMPC), which reduces the problem size. To counter the incompleteness of P-DMPC, we propose a framework for time-variant priority assignment. The framework expands recursive feasibility to every vehicle in the NCS. We present two time-variant priority assignment algorithms for road vehicles, one to improve vehicle progress and one to improve computation time of the NCS. We evaluate our approach for online trajectory planning of multiple networked vehicles in simulations and experiments.
