对比真实数据发现,Waymo数据集低估了驾驶行为的复杂性与风险。

Can the Waymo Open Motion Dataset Support Realistic Behavioral Modeling? A Validation Study with Naturalistic Trajectories

  • 用真实自动驾驶数据对比验证了Waymo数据集的行为表现
  • 发现Waymo数据中短车距和急刹车现象明显不足
  • 适合做自动驾驶行为建模评估的研究者参考

Waymo开放运动数据集(WOMD)已成为自动驾驶行为建模的常用资源。然而,由于其专有后处理流程、缺乏误差量化以及轨迹被分割为20秒片段,其在行为分析中的有效性尚不明确。本研究基于亚利桑那州凤凰城(PHX)Level 4自动驾驶运营的独立自然场景数据,针对信号交叉口放行、跟车与变道三种典型城市驾驶场景进行对比分析。对于放行场景,通过航拍视频人工提取车距以确保极低测量误差;对跟车与变道场景,则采用模拟外推法(SIMEX)校正PHX数据中的实测误差,并利用动态时间弯曲(DTW)距离量化行为差异。结果显示,所有场景下PHX行为均超出WOMD的行为范围。特别地,WOMD显著低估短车距与急减速事件。这表明,仅基于WOMD训练的行为模型可能系统性低估自然驾驶中的变异、风险与复杂性。因此,在未与独立数据验证前,使用WOMD进行行为建模需谨慎。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The Waymo Open Motion Dataset (WOMD) has become a popular resource for data-driven modeling of autonomous vehicles (AVs) behavior. However, its validity for behavioral analysis remains uncertain due to proprietary post-processing, the absence of error quantification, and the segmentation of trajectories into 20-second clips. This study examines whether WOMD accurately captures the dynamics and interactions observed in real-world AV operations. Leveraging an independently collected naturalistic dataset from Level 4 AV operations in Phoenix, Arizona (PHX), we perform comparative analyses across three representative urban driving scenarios: discharging at signalized intersections, car-following, and lane-changing behaviors. For the discharging analysis, headways are manually extracted from aerial video to ensure negligible measurement error. For the car-following and lane-changing cases, we apply the Simulation-Extrapolation (SIMEX) method to account for empirically estimated error in the PHX data and use Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distances to quantify behavioral differences. Results across all scenarios consistently show that behavior in PHX falls outside the behavioral envelope of WOMD. Notably, WOMD underrepresents short headways and abrupt decelerations. These findings suggest that behavioral models calibrated solely on WOMD may systematically underestimate the variability, risk, and complexity of naturalistic driving. Caution is therefore warranted when using WOMD for behavior modeling without proper validation against independently collected data.
