Human-like planning of swerve maneuvers for autonomous vehicles
Abstract
In this paper, we develop a motion planner for on-road autonomous swerve maneuvers that is capable of learning passengers' individual driving styles. It uses a hybrid planning approach that combines sampling-based graph search and vehicle model-based evaluation to obtain a smooth trajectory plan. To automate the parameter tuning process, as well as to reflect individual driving styles, we further adapt inverse reinforcement learning techniques to distill human driving patterns from maneuver demonstrations collected from different individuals. We found that the proposed swerve planner and its learning routine can approximate a good variety of maneuver demonstrations. However, due to the underlying stochastic nature of human driving, more data are needed in order to obtain a more generative swerve model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
