This research introduces a motion planning framework that integrates Branch Model Predictive Control with neuroscience-based human decision-making models to enable autonomous vehicles to plan more assertive and socially aware maneuvers. The approach simultaneously addresses multi-modality, interaction, and human decision-making, demonstrating improved efficiency and adaptability in complex traffic scenarios like uncertain traffic lights, highway merging, and intersection negotiation.

Key insights

  • Integrating neuroscience-based human decision-making models into motion planning allows autonomous vehicles to proactively influence human behavior.
  • Branch Model Predictive Control (Branch MPC) can effectively handle multi-modality and interaction by planning across multiple potential human behavior policies simultaneously.
  • Considering all three challenges (multi-modality, interaction, decision-making) within a unified framework leads to more assertive and socially aware autonomous driving.
