International Classification:

B60W 60/00
B60W 50/00

Abstract:

A method for monitoring uncertainty for human-like behavioral modulation of trajectory planning includes: retrieving map and agent information of a current driving state of an autonomously operated host automobile vehicle; dividing uncertainty conditions affecting a trajectory of the host automobile vehicle into an expected uncertainty and an unexpected uncertainty; calculating the expected uncertainty in a first operation branch by forming attention zones according to identified portions of lanes which may potentially collide with a planned route of the host automobile vehicle; determining the unexpected uncertainty in a second operation branch by calculating an anomaly score for any other vehicles in a surrounding area of the host automobile vehicle positioned in the lanes which may potentially collide with the planned route of the host automobile vehicle; and modulating trajectory operation signals determined for the expected uncertainty if the unexpected uncertainty meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold.
