Abstract

A method in accordance with the invention controls movements of an actor, such as an autonomous vehicle. The method includes collecting one or more data sets of location information from sources that include a first actor, a second actor, and a fixed agent. Each data set indicates a current location of an object from one or more objects. The method also includes merging the data sets to generate a second set of current location information of the one or more objects, filtering the second set of current location information to remove location information of static objects to generate a subset of the current locations corresponding to a subset of the objects, using the subset of current locations to predict future locations of the subset of objects, and coordinating the movement of the first actor based on the predicted future locations to optimize one or more pre-determined criteria.
