• Title: Modeling Interactions of Multimodal Road Users in Shared Spaces
• Authors: Fatema T. Johora and J\"org P. M\"uller
• Abstract summary: We consider and combine different levels of interaction between pedestrians and cars in shared space environments. Our proposed model consists of three layers: a layer to plan trajectories of road users; a force-based modeling layer to reproduce free flow movement and simple interactions. We validate our model by simulating scenarios involving various interactions between pedestrians and cars and also car-to-car interaction.

• Abstract: In shared spaces, motorized and non-motorized road users share the same space with equal priority. Their movements are not regulated by traffic rules, hence they interact more frequently to negotiate priority over the shared space. To estimate the safeness and efficiency of shared spaces, reproducing the traffic behavior in such traffic places is important. In this paper, we consider and combine different levels of interaction between pedestrians and cars in shared space environments. Our proposed model consists of three layers: a layer to plan trajectories of road users; a force-based modeling layer to reproduce free flow movement and simple interactions; and a game-theoretic decision layer to handle complex situations where road users need to make a decision over different alternatives. We validate our model by simulating scenarios involving various interactions between pedestrians and cars and also car-to-car interaction. The results indicate that simulated behaviors match observed behaviors well.

  We propose a simple yet effective Unlimited Neighborhood Interaction Network (UNIN) which predicts trajectories of heterogeneous agents in multiply categories. Specifically, the proposed unlimited neighborhood interaction module generates the fused-features of all agents involved in an interaction simultaneously. A hierarchical graph attention module is proposed to obtain category-tocategory interaction and agent-to-agent interaction.

  This paper presents a novel framework for interaction-aware motion planning in dense traffic scenarios. We propose to learn, via deep Reinforcement Learning (RL), an interaction-aware policy providing global guidance about the cooperativeness of other vehicles. The learned policy can reason and guide the local optimization-based planner with interactive behavior to pro-actively merge in dense traffic while remaining safe in case the other vehicles do not yield.

  Navigating through intersections is one of the main challenging tasks for an autonomous vehicle. In this work, we focus on the implementation of a system able to navigate through intersections where only traffic signs are provided. We propose a multi-agent system using a continuous, model-free Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm used to train a neural network for predicting both the acceleration and the steering angle at each time step.
