After the development of fusion technology of mechanics, electronics and IT, there are a lot of researches about the autonomous vehicle. For this kind of vehicle to move automatically, it needs the reference input that the vehicle can follow, and this reference input comes from a path planning algorithm. A* is one of the well-known global path planning algorithm that finds the optimal path on the given map using the heuristic cost function. However, A* algorithm gives the vehicle some reference points on the path not the continuous reference path. And A* may not guarantee the path will not collide the corner of the obstacle. To overcome this problem, in this paper, the hybrid path planning algorithm is suggested using B-spline equation and new heuristic cost function with survival probability. At last, we developed the simulation program and the results are shown.
