Abstract

This paper presents a unified ROS2 and Gazebo framework for evaluating reactive and map-based navigation strategies for a differential-drive robot under a common Time-to-Collision (TTC)-based Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS). Wall-following, distance-based and TTC-based Follow-the-Gap variants, Pure Pursuit, and Stanley are compared under identical obstacle-constrained conditions using tracking, smoothness, efficiency, and safety metrics. Pure Pursuit provides smoother tracking and fewer AEBS interventions than Stanley under the tested parameterization, while TTC-based Follow-the-Gap achieves anticipatory obstacle avoidance with no AEBS activations. Exposure-normalized safety analysis further shows that method rankings depend on whether AEBS stops are normalized by path length or traversal time, demonstrating that raw intervention counts should not be interpreted in isolation. The framework provides a reproducible safety-supervised baseline for subsequent autonomous navigation and computational intelligence studies.
