Interaction-Aware Maneuver Intention Prediction Using Gated Mixture-of-Experts Attention Mechanism.

This paper addresses the task of predicting the behavior of traffic participants, which involves complexities such as road geometry and agent interactions. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents a novel framework called AIMP (Attention-based Interaction-aware Maneuver Prediction). AIMP utilizes interaction graphs to extract intricate interaction features from traffic scenes. The framework incorporates a Gated Mixture-of-Experts Attention Mechanism, which combines information from road geometry, interaction patterns, and motion dynamics. This fusion process also considers prior maneuver intention estimations, enhancing both explainability and informativeness. Experimental results highlight a performance enhancement (approximately 2% ∼ 9% of accuracy) of the proposed AIMP framework compared to alternative fusion methods.
