CoPlanner: An Interactive Motion Planner with Contingency-Aware Diffusion for Autonomous Driving
- 用扩散模型联合生成多智能体轨迹并规划应对突发情况的备用路径
- 在nuPlan测试中安全性和舒适性显著优于现有方法,尤其在反应式场景下
- 适合需要高鲁棒性规划的自动驾驶系统研发与测试
准确的轨迹预测与运动规划对自动驾驶系统在复杂交互环境中安全导航至关重要,但现有‘生成后评估’框架通常只选单一最可能轨迹,导致决策过于自信,缺乏关键场景下的应急方案。同时,预测与规划模块分离常导致社会不一致或不现实的联合轨迹,尤其在高度交互交通中。为此,我们提出统一的灾备感知扩散规划器(CoPlanner),联合建模多智能体交互轨迹生成与灾备感知运动规划。其核心是枢轴条件扩散机制,以经验证的短期共享片段为锚点,保持时间一致性,并随机生成多样化的长时程分支以捕捉多模态运动演化。同时设计灾备感知多场景评分策略,在多个可能的长期演化情景中评估候选自车轨迹,平衡安全性、进展与舒适度。该集成设计保留可行的备用路径,增强不确定性下的鲁棒性,实现更真实的交互感知规划。在nuPlan基准上的闭环实验表明,CoPlanner在Val14和Test14数据集上持续超越最先进方法,尤其在反应式与非反应式设置下显著提升安全性和舒适性。代码与模型将在录用后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate trajectory prediction and motion planning are crucial for autonomous driving systems to navigate safely in complex, interactive environments characterized by multimodal uncertainties. However, current generation-then-evaluation frameworks typically construct multiple plausible trajectory hypotheses but ultimately adopt a single most likely outcome, leading to overconfident decisions and a lack of fallback strategies that are vital for safety in rare but critical scenarios. Moreover, the usual decoupling of prediction and planning modules could result in socially inconsistent or unrealistic joint trajectories, especially in highly interactive traffic. To address these challenges, we propose a contingency-aware diffusion planner (CoPlanner), a unified framework that jointly models multi-agent interactive trajectory generation and contingency-aware motion planning. Specifically, the pivot-conditioned diffusion mechanism anchors trajectory sampling on a validated, shared short-term segment to preserve temporal consistency, while stochastically generating diverse long-horizon branches that capture multimodal motion evolutions. In parallel, we design a contingency-aware multi-scenario scoring strategy that evaluates candidate ego trajectories across multiple plausible long-horizon evolution scenarios, balancing safety, progress, and comfort. This integrated design preserves feasible fallback options and enhances robustness under uncertainty, leading to more realistic interaction-aware planning. Extensive closed-loop experiments on the nuPlan benchmark demonstrate that CoPlanner consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods on both Val14 and Test14 datasets, achieving significant improvements in safety and comfort under both reactive and non-reactive settings. Code and model will be made publicly available upon acceptance.
