Hybrid A Star achieved very good results in the DARPA Urban Challenge. And after years of development, the algorithm has been verified to perform very well in parking and some autonomous driving environments without driving rules.

Since the author did not open source the algorithm, it took me weeks to reproduce the algorithm. The final result is close to the speed and effect in the paper.

The starting point is selected by the 2D Pose Estimate in rviz, and the end point is selected by the 2D Nav Goal.

I provide multiple maps, you just need to modify the variable image in hybrid_a_star/maps/map.yaml file.

If your start and end points are too close to obstacles, the collision detection mechanism may be triggered and no feasible paths will be searched and displayed
