• Abstract: A scenario-based testing approach can reduce the time required to obtain statistically significant evidence of the safety of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). Identifying these scenarios in an automated manner is a challenging task. Most methods on scenario classification do not work for complex scenarios with diverse environments (highways, urban) and interaction with other traffic agents. This is mirrored in their approaches which model an individual vehicle in relation to its environment, but neglect the interaction between multiple vehicles (e.g. cut-ins, stationary lead vehicle). Furthermore, existing datasets lack diversity and do not have per-frame annotations to accurately learn the start and end time of a scenario. We propose a method for complex traffic scenario classification that is able to model the interaction of a vehicle with the environment, as well as other agents. We use Graph Convolutional Networks to model spatial and temporal aspects of these scenarios. Expanding the nuScenes and Argoverse 2 driving datasets, we introduce a scenario-labeled dataset, which covers different driving environments and is annotated per frame. Training our method on this dataset, we present a promising baseline for future research on per-frame complex scenario classification.

  STRIVE is a method to automatically generate challenging scenarios that cause a given planner to produce undesirable behavior, like collisions. To maintain scenario plausibility, the key idea is to leverage a learned model of traffic motion in the form of a graph-based conditional VAE. A subsequent optimization is used to find a "solution" to the scenario, ensuring it is useful to improve the given planner.
