Claims:We claim:
1. A method for generating a safe navigation path (242) for navigating a vehicle (103), the method comprising:
receiving, by a path generation system (107) associated with the vehicle (103), a reference path (117) between a source point (115a) and a destination point (115b) from one or more sources (101), wherein the reference path (117) is confined between boundaries of a road characterised as a left-side boundary (119a) and a right-side boundary (119b);
determining, by the path generation system (107), a plurality of boundary points positioned along a boundary selected from the left-side boundary (119a) and the right-side boundary (119b) by traversing the selected boundary;
identifying, by the path generation system (107), a tangent for a point along the selected boundary, wherein the point is positioned between adjacent determined boundary points from each of the determined plurality of boundary points, and wherein a line perpendicular to the tangent is projected from each of the plurality of boundary points until the perpendicular line reaches other boundary; and
identifying, by the path generation system (107), a centre point on each perpendicular line, wherein each centre point is connected to generate the safe navigation path (242).
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of boundary points are determined based on generation of one or more segments by traversal of the selected boundary.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein each segment from the one or more segments comprises a proposed boundary point which is detected to be a determined boundary point, when the segment complies with at least a pre-defined segment length threshold and a pre-defined segment inclination threshold.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein each boundary point traversed on the selected boundary is considered to be the proposed boundary point, until the determined boundary point is detected.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the identified tangent is parallel to a line segment generated between the adjacent determined boundary points.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprises providing, by the path generation system (107), the generated safe navigation path (242) to a navigation module associated with the path generation system (107) for navigating the vehicle (103).

7. A path generation system (107) for generating a safe navigation path (242) for navigating a vehicle (103), the path generation system (107) comprising:

a processor (109); and
a memory (113) communicatively coupled to the processor (109), wherein the memory (113) stores the processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor (109) to:
receive a reference path (117) between a source point (115a) and a destination point (115b) from one or more sources (101), wherein the reference path (117) is confined between boundaries of a road characterised as a left-side boundary (119a) and a right-side boundary (119b);

determine a plurality of boundary points positioned along a boundary selected from the left-side boundary (119a) and the right-side boundary (119b) by traversing the selected boundary;
identify a tangent for a point along the selected boundary, wherein the point is positioned between adjacent determined boundary points from each of the determined plurality of boundary points, and wherein a line perpendicular to the tangent is projected from each of the plurality of boundary points until the perpendicular line reaches other boundary; and

identify a centre point on each perpendicular line, wherein each centre point is connected to generate the safe navigation path (242).
8. The path generation system (107) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the processor (109) determines the plurality of boundary points based on generation of one or more segments by traversal of the selected boundary.
9. The path generation system (107) as claimed in claim 8, wherein each segment from the one or more segments comprises a proposed boundary point which is detected to be a determined boundary point, when the segment complies with at least a pre-defined segment length threshold and a pre-defined segment inclination threshold.

10. The path generation system (107) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor (109) considers each boundary point traversed on the selected boundary to be the proposed boundary point, until the determined boundary point is detected.

11. The path generation system (107) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the identified tangent is parallel to a line segment generated between the adjacent determined boundary points.

12. The path generation system (107) as claimed in claim 7, wherein the processor (109) is further configured to provide the generated safe navigation path (242) to a navigation module associated with the path generation system (107) for navigating the vehicle (103).
