Abstract

A system and method for real world autonomous vehicle trajectory simulation are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving training data from a real world data collection system; obtaining ground truth data corresponding to the training data; performing a training phase to train a plurality of trajectory prediction models; and performing a simulation or operational phase to generate a vicinal scenario for each simulated vehicle in an iteration of a simulation, the vicinal scenarios corresponding to different locations, traffic patterns, or environmental conditions being simulated, provide vehicle intention data corresponding to a data representation of various types of simulated vehicle or driver intentions, generate a trajectory corresponding to perception data and the vehicle intention data, execute at least one of the plurality of trained trajectory prediction models to generate a distribution of predicted vehicle trajectories for each of a plurality of simulated vehicles of the simulation based on the vicinal scenario and the vehicle intention data, select at least one vehicle trajectory from the distribution based on pre-defined criteria, and update a state and tra…
