Control system and method for manoeuvring an automated vehicle

A control system for manoeuvring an automated vehicle, wherein the control system comprises one or more obstacle detection sensors which are configured to detect if an intended travelling path of the automated vehicle is free from obstacles or not during manoeuvring of the automated vehicle, wherein the one or more obstacle detection sensors has a field of view, and wherein the control system is further configured to utilize a plurality of predefined obstacle detection modes during manoeuvring of the automated vehicle, wherein the plurality of predefined obstacle detection modes have different levels of obstacle detection accuracy, wherein,

• the control system is further configured to select a specific obstacle detection mode from the plurality of predefined obstacle detection modes based on a specific driving mission and/or based on a specific area of operation for the automated vehicle so that the specific obstacle detection mode is used during the specific driving mission and/or in the specific area of operation, wherein the plurality of predefined obstacle detection modes comprises at least two different obstacle detection modes with varying obstacle detection accuracy, wherein a first mode, defined as a high accuracy mode, is configured to detect if the ground surface is drivable and/or if the intended travelling path is free from obstacles or not, and wherein an additional mode, defined as a mode with a lower accuracy than the first mode, is configured to disable obstacle detection for areas uncovered by the field of view of the one or more obstacle detection sensors and enable obstacle detection for areas covered by the field of view of the one or more obstacle detection sensors.
