New WZDrive predictor enhances autonomous driving in construction zones

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new multimodal ego-trajectory predictor called WZDrive to improve autonomous driving in road construction zones. This predictor utilizes a novel dataset, WZDrive-Data, which includes 1,183 driving segments from 33 drivers, collected using a human-in-the-loop driving simulator. The system incorporates driver control and gaze signals alongside vehicle trajectories and scene information to enhance prediction accuracy. WZDrive demonstrated a 7.18% reduction in minADE (K=6) and a 13.18% reduction in minFDE (K=6) compared to existing state-of-the-art baselines, addressing a significant gap in autonomous driving research.

    Trajectory Prediction for Autonomous Driving in Road Construction Zones Using Human-in-the-Loop Driving Data

    arXiv:2610.12747v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ego-trajectory prediction in urban roadway work zones remains an underexplored topic in autonomous-driving research, with limited dedicated data and systematic evaluation. Roadway work zones involve temporary changes in the lane l…
