Surrounding Vehicles’ Lane Change Maneuver Prediction for Autonomous Driving in Mixed Traffic
Confirmation seminar presented by Zhuo (Joe) Cao.
The rapid advancement of autonomous driving technologies has driven an increasing interest in autonomous vehicles (Avs) and driving assistance systems. This study addresses the challenges of enhancing AV decision-making by incorporating real-time predictions of surrounding vehicles' maneuver intentions. The research is motivated by the need to extend AV capabilities beyond perceiving the present state of neighboring road users and infrastructures, and proactively anticipate their future actions. The research focuses on lane change intention prediction, recognizing its critical role in achieving safe and comfortable autonomous driving.
