模仿学习(IL)因数据高效且可利用真实驾驶数据,被广泛用于自动驾驶运动规划。为实现安全可靠的现实驾驶,基于IL的规划需捕捉真实数据中的复杂驾驶情境,并实现情境自适应决策,而非仅模仿专家轨迹。本文提出CarPLAN,一种新型基于模仿学习的运动规划框架,显式提升驾驶情境理解能力,并在多变交通场景中实现自适应规划。主要贡献包括:引入位移感知预测编码(DPE),通过预测自动驾驶车辆(AV)与周边场景元素之间的未来位移向量,增强模型的空间感知能力,使轨迹生成考虑相对间距;在标准模仿损失基础上增加位移预测误差损失项,确保规划决策关注与其他交通参与者间的相对距离。为进一步提升模型对多样化驾驶情境的处理能力,提出情境自适应多专家解码器(CMD),基于混合专家(MoE)框架,在Transformer每一层动态选择最适专家解码器以响应场景结构变化,实现动态环境下的自适应、情境感知规划。在nuPlan基准测试中评估,CarPLAN在所有闭环仿真指标上均达当前最优水平,尤其在Test14-Hard等挑战性场景中表现出显著鲁棒性。额外在Waymax基准上的实验进一步验证其跨不同评测设置的泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Imitation learning (IL) is widely used for motion planning in autonomous driving due to its data efficiency and access to real-world driving data. For safe and robust real-world driving, IL-based planning requires capturing the complex driving contexts inherent in real-world data and enabling context-adaptive decision-making, rather than relying solely on expert trajectory imitation. In this paper, we propose CarPLAN, a novel IL-based motion planning framework that explicitly enhances driving context understanding and enables adaptive planning across diverse traffic scenarios. Our contributions are twofold: We introduce Displacement-Aware Predictive Encoding (DPE) to improve the model's spatial awareness by predicting future displacement vectors between the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) and surrounding scene elements. This allows the planner to account for relational spacing when generating trajectories. In addition to the standard imitation loss, we incorporate an augmented loss term that captures displacement prediction errors, ensuring planning decisions consider relative distances from other agents. To improve the model's ability to handle diverse driving contexts, we propose Context-Adaptive Multi-Expert Decoder (CMD), which leverages the Mixture of Experts (MoE) framework. CMD dynamically selects the most suitable expert decoders based on scene structure at each Transformer layer, enabling adaptive and context-aware planning in dynamic environments. We evaluate CarPLAN on the nuPlan benchmark and demonstrate state-of-the-art performance across all closed-loop simulation metrics. In particular, CarPLAN exhibits robust performance on challenging scenarios such as Test14-Hard, validating its effectiveness in complex driving conditions. Additional experiments on the Waymax benchmark further demonstrate its generalization capability across different benchmark settings.
