Autonomous Driving with Priority-Ordered STL Specifications Under Multimodal Uncertainty
arXiv:2606.20336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous vehicles must plan trajectories that satisfy a multitude of requirements on safety, passenger comfort, and compliance with traffic rules. However, in safety-critical scenarios, it is not always possible to satisfy all requirements simultaneously, necessitating their prioritization based on importance.

arXiv:2606.20336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous vehicles must plan trajectories that satisfy a multitude of requirements on safety, passenger comfort, and compliance with traffic rules. However, in safety-critical scenarios, it is not always possible to satisfy all requirements simultaneously, necessitating their prioritization based on importance. At the same time, in these safety-critical scenarios, the uncertainty in trajectory predictions of the surrounding traffic, such as other vehicles and pedestrians, should be explicitly accounted for. In this work, we propose an uncertainty-aware trajectory planning framework that incorporates a predefined lexicographic ordering over Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications that stays valid under uncertainty. We implement this formulation with Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control and we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on simulation scenarios, showing that our framework efficiently handles conflicting objectives under realistic multi-modal uncertainty.
