Abstract
As a core component of the Internet of Vehicles, reasoning about the trajectory of pedestrians or vehicles in complex road conditions plays a critical role in autonomous driving and socially aware robotic navigation. Most existing methods do not adequately consider the effects of heterogeneous traffic agents. Toward this end, we propose the traffic trajectory prediction algorithm based on the convolutional attention network (TraGCAN) to predict the trajectories of heterogeneous traffic agents in dense traffic. The algorithm of the proposed method examines the behavior of different traffic agents in terms of both time and space dimensions to identify their movement patterns and interactions. We construct the spatial relationship of traffic agents as a graph structure and introduce a graph convolutional network to extract spatial interactions. In addition, we design a spatial attention mechanism to adaptively calculate weights for all spatial interactions to capture different influences from neighboring agents. To improve the accuracy of trajectory prediction, the algorithm considers the influence of the heterogeneous characteristics of traffic agents on their motion behaviors. We evaluated the performance of the proposed TraGCAN on heterogeneous traffic data sets, and the results demonstrate that the error of TraGCAN is reduced by 15% compared to existing methods.
