Hybrid Approach for Vehicle Trajectory Prediction Using Weighted Integration of Multiple Models

Prediction of surrounding vehicles accurately is an essential prerequisite for safe autonomous driving. Trajectory prediction methods can be classified into physics-, maneuver-, or learning-based methods. Learning-based methods have been studied extensively in recent years because it effectively exp...
