Generating overtaking trajectories in high-speed scenarios is typically addressed through hierarchical planning, which often suffers from local optima due to single initial solutions and low computational efficiency during numerical optimization. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a Spatio-temporal topology and Reachable set analysis enhanced Overtaking trajectory Planning framework (SROP). Specifically, by introducing topological classes to represent distinct overtaking behaviors, the upper-layer planner performs a spatio-temporal search to extract diverse initial paths, effectively preventing local optima. Subsequently, a lower-layer planner conducts parallel trajectory evaluation using reachable sets, which decouples vehicle kinematic constraints from the optimization process to ensure feasibility and significantly accelerate computation. Numerical experiments demonstrate that SROP improves trajectory smoothness by 66.8% and reduces computation time by 62.9% compared to state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, by seamlessly integrating the method into the F1TENTH autonomous racing simulation platform, a 100-lap sensitivity analysis demonstrates high overtaking success rates in challenging scenarios, thereby validating its practical utility, real-time efficiency, and robustness.
