Abstract: Disclosed subject matter relates to field of vehicle navigation system that performs a method of generating trajectory for navigating an autonomous vehicle. A trajectory generating system associated with autonomous vehicle detects Points of Interest (POIs) for a selected segment which is at predefined distance from current position of autonomous vehicle, in real-time. Further, features of each of the POIs are determined and first level trajectory is generated for selected segment based on features of POIs proximal to selected segment. Furthermore, the trajectory generating system generates second level trajectory for portions of first level trajectory from current position of autonomous vehicle by modifying each portion based on real-time environment data. First level trajectory in present disclosure enables trajectory generating system to effectively plan the second level trajectory such that, sudden change in velocity or direction of autonomous vehicle is eliminated, when autonomous vehicle encounters infrastructure conditions present in the selected segment.
