A longstanding challenge for self-driving development is simulating dynamic
driving scenarios seeded from recorded driving logs. In pursuit of this
functionality, we apply tools from discrete sequence modeling to model how
vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists interact in driving scenarios. Using a
simple data-driven tokenization scheme, we discretize trajectories to
centimeter-level resolution using a small vocabulary. We then model the
multi-agent sequence of motion tokens with a GPT-like encoder-decoder that is
autoregressive in time and takes into account intra-timestep interaction
between agents. Scenarios sampled from our model exhibit state-of-the-art
realism; our model tops the Waymo Sim Agents Benchmark, surpassing prior work
along the realism meta metric by 3.3% and along the interaction metric by 9.9%.
We ablate our modeling choices in full autonomy and partial autonomy settings,
and show that the representations learned by our model can quickly be adapted
to improve performance on nuScenes. We additionally evaluate the scalability of
our model with respect to parameter count and dataset size, and use density
estimates from our model to quantify the saliency of context length and
intra-timestep interaction for the traffic modeling task.

Trajeglish: Learning the Language of Driving Scenarios

The volume and types of traffic data in mobile cellular networks have been
increasing continuously. Meanwhile, traffic data change dynamically in several
dimensions such as time and space. Thus, traffic modeling is essential for
theoretical analysis and energy efficient design of future ultra-dense cellular
networks. In this paper, the authors try to build a tractable and accurate
model to describe the traffic variation pattern for a single base station in
real cellular networks. Firstly a sinusoid superposition model is proposed for
describing the temporal traffic variation of multiple base stations based on
real data in a current cellular network. It shows that the mean traffic volume
of many base stations in an area changes periodically and has three main
frequency components. Then, lognormal distribution is verified for spatial
modeling of real traffic data. The spatial traffic distributions at both spare
time and busy time are analyzed. Moreover, the parameters of the model are
presented in three typical regions: park, campus and central business district.
Finally, an approach for combined spatial-temporal traffic modeling of single
base station is proposed based on the temporal and spatial traffic distribution
of multiple base stations. All the three models are evaluated through
comparison with real data in current cellular networks. The results show that
these models can accurately describe the variation pattern of real traffic data
in cellular networks.
