• Abstract: In this paper, we assess the state of the art in pedestrian trajectory prediction within the context of generating single trajectories, a critical aspect aligning with the requirements in autonomous systems. The evaluation is conducted on the widely-used ETH/UCY dataset where the Average Displacement Error (ADE) and the Final Displacement Error (FDE) are reported. Alongside this, we perform an ablation study to investigate the impact of the observed motion history on prediction performance. To evaluate the scalability of each approach when confronted with varying amounts of agents, the inference time of each model is measured. Following a quantitative analysis, the resulting predictions are compared in a qualitative manner, giving insight into the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches. The results demonstrate that although a constant velocity model (CVM) provides a good approximation of the overall dynamics in the majority of cases, additional features need to be incorporated to reflect common pedestrian behavior observed. Therefore, this study presents a data-driven analysis with the intent to guide the future development of pedestrian trajectory prediction algorithms.

  This paper proposes an interpretable generative model for motion prediction with robust generalizability to out-of-distribution cases.

  We argue that following evaluation practices in safety assessment for automated vehicles should be performed in a scenario-based fashion. We categorize trajectories of Open Motion dataset according to the type of movement they capture. Results show that common evaluation methods are insufficient and the assessment should be performed depending on the application in which the model will operate.
