Interactive Motion Planning

Codebase for adaptive interactive mixed-integer model predictive control (aiMPC): an optimal control-based interactive motion planning algorithm for autonomous vehicles.

• Real-time Software-and-Human-in-the-loop simulation in CARLA.

Test scenario illustration

Mandatory lane change scenario: a stopped truck on the right lane necessitates a lane change for the autonomous vehicle which needs to negotiate with a human-driven vehicle on the left lane.

• Blue vehicle is the ego vehicle and red vehicle is the human-driven neighboring vehicle (NV).

• aiMPC estimates NV's cost online and adapts the MPC.
