DATA-DRIVEN PREDICTION-BASED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRAJECTORY PLANNING OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a data processor; and
a trajectory planning module, executable by the data processor, the trajectory planning module being configured to perform a data-driven prediction-based trajectory planning operation for autonomous vehicles, the trajectory planning operation being configured to;
generate a first suggested trajectory for an autonomous vehicle;
generate predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents using a prediction module;
score the first suggested trajectory based on the predicted resulting trajectories of the proximate agents;
generate a second suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle and generate corresponding predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents, if the score of the first suggested trajectory is below a minimum acceptable threshold; and
output a suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle wherein the score corresponding to the suggested trajectory is at or above the minimum acceptable threshold.

Abstract
A data-driven prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: generating a first suggested trajectory for an autonomous vehicle; generating predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents using a prediction module; scoring the first suggested trajectory based on the predicted resulting trajectories of the proximate agents; generating a second suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle and generating corresponding predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents, if the score of the first suggested trajectory is below a minimum acceptable threshold; and outputting a suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle wherein the score corresponding to the suggested trajectory is at or above the minimum acceptable threshold.
