AI Technical Summary
Existing trajectory prediction methods for automated vehicles face high complexity and runtime issues due to the inclusion of all vehicles in the scene, leading to inefficient training and inaccurate predictions, especially when using graph-based approaches.
A two-step method involving an interaction-based vehicle preselection using an attention-based algorithm to determine relevant vehicles for trajectory prediction, reducing the number of nodes in the graph and relying on interaction levels rather than distance, thereby simplifying the training process and improving prediction accuracy.
This approach reduces complexity and runtime while enhancing the accuracy of trajectory predictions, allowing for efficient and reliable automated vehicle operation by focusing on relevant interactions between vehicles.
