Conceitos Básicos
A novel generative model that integrates characterized diffusion and spatial-temporal interaction networks to accurately predict trajectories of vehicles in complex and dynamic traffic scenarios.
Resumo
The paper presents a novel trajectory prediction model, CDSTraj, that addresses the challenges of modeling uncertainties and complex agent interactions in dynamic traffic environments. The key innovations are:
-
Characterized Diffusion Module:
- Employs an inverse diffusion process to generate future trajectories of neighboring agents by iteratively mitigating the inherent uncertainty.
- Integrates detailed semantic information to enhance the predictive process and improve trajectory prediction accuracy.
-
Spatial-Temporal (ST) Interaction Module:
- Captures the nuanced effects of traffic scenarios on vehicle dynamics across both spatial and temporal dimensions using a three-stage architecture.
- Leverages a spatio-temporal attention mechanism to meticulously model and analyze the intricate interactions characteristic of traffic scenarios.
The model is extensively evaluated on three real-world datasets (NGSIM, HighD, and MoCAD), demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in trajectory prediction across both short and extended temporal spans. The exceptional results on the MoCAD dataset, which features a unique right-hand drive configuration and obligatory left-hand traffic regime, underscore the model's adaptability and accuracy in diverse driving scenarios.
Estatísticas
The model achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines:
On the NGSIM dataset, the model outperforms WSiP and STDAN by 29% and 22% respectively over a 5-second horizon.
On the HighD dataset, the model achieves average improvements ranging from 43%-70% for short-term forecasts (1-3 seconds) and 62%-78% for long-term forecasts (4-5 seconds).
On the MoCAD dataset, the model outperforms SOTA baselines by at least 37% for short-term predictions and reduces long-term prediction errors by at least 0.58 metres.
