CorrRisk-WM: Corridor-Conditioned Risk World Modeling for Safety-Critical Trajectory Planning
arXiv:2609.16724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe local planning requires forecasting surrounding-agent motion and evaluating candidate-specific risks, since identical agent motion can pose different risks to different ego trajectories.

arXiv:2609.16724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe local planning requires forecasting surrounding-agent motion and evaluating candidate-specific risks, since identical agent motion can pose different risks to different ego trajectories. We present CorrRisk-WM, a planning-oriented partial world model coupling environment evolution with supervised intrusion and near-miss prediction over bounded candidate-trajectory corridors. A latent environment model recursively predicts agent states and updates agent-agent and agent-map interactions. Each candidate queries the evolving environment through footprint- aware geometry and learned agent-corridor representations. A lightweight recurrent risk module uses temporal context to estimate per-slice hazards; survival aggregation yields first-entry and horizon-level event probabilities. On 29,176 scenarios from 100 Waymo validation shards, CorrRisk-WM achieves intrusion average precision (AP) of 0.8567 and 1-m near-miss first-entry AP of 0.8671. In baseline comparisons, it attains the highest near-miss AP at all three distance thresholds and the lowest observed open-loop collision rate (4.88%), with route progress of 15.35 m. Across three seeds, removing dynamic environment modeling or candidate-conditioned geometric interaction reduces mean intrusion AP from 0.8590 to 0.7624 and 0.7252, respectively. These results support coupling environment evolution with candidate-conditioned geometric reasoning for risk prediction and safety-oriented candidate selection.
