The Swarm Intelligence Freeway–Urban Trajectories (SWIFTraj) Dataset–Part II: A Graph-Based Approach for Trajectory Connection

Xinkai Ji, Pan Liu, Ying Yang, Yu Han

In Part I of this companion paper series, we introduced SWIFTraj, an open-source vehicle trajectory dataset collected by a UAV swarm. It provides long-distance continuous trajectories by connecting vehicle trajectories across consecutive UAV videos, with the longest trajectory exceeding 4.5 km, and covers an integrated network of freeways and connected urban roads. However, trajectory connection in UAV swarms is challenging because of video time-offset errors and irregular UAV layouts. To address these issues, this paper proposes a graph-based trajectory connection method. An undirected graph is used to represent flexible UAV layouts, an automatic time-alignment method is developed by minimizing trajectory matching costs, and cross-video vehicle association is performed using a Hungarian-algorithm-based matching table. Experiments on real-world and simulated data show that the proposed method achieves time alignment errors within three frames, about 0.1 s, and consistently high vehicle-matching F1-scores.

The Swarm Intelligence Freeway-Urban Trajectories (SWIFTraj) Dataset - Part I: Dataset Description and Applications

Yu Han, Xinkai Ji, Chen Qian, Le Zhang, Ying Yang, Pan Liu

This paper presents a detailed description and characterization of a new open-source vehicle trajectory dataset, namely SWIFTraj, constructed from videos recorded by a swarm of 16 drones equipped with 5.4K-resolution cameras. The dataset is distinguished from existing open-source trajectory datasets in several aspects. First, it provides long-distance continuous trajectories of up to 4.5 km on a freeway, enabling in-depth investigation of traffic phenomena and their spatial and temporal evolution. Second, the data collection site covers an integrated network consisting of a long freeway corridor and parts of its connected urban network, facilitating traffic analysis and modeling from a network perspective. The dataset is publicly available at the SWIFTraj website (https://www.swiftraj.com).

Complexity Controllable Road Network Generation for Virtual Testing of Autonomous Driving

Yu Zhu, Jiaxin Wang, Shaoxin Yuan, Zhigang Xu, Xiaobo Qu
Complexity controllable road network generation is crucial for accelerating autonomous vehicle (AV) virtual simulation testing. This study proposes a generation method via optimized combination of realistic road elements: first, real-world urban road networks are decomposed into elements; high-collision-risk elements (e.g., T-junctions, merging/diverging zones) are abstracted into parameter-configurable graph models. These models are instantiated using real cartographic data, with complexity assessed by collision risk metrics and labeled via an evaluation function. A tunable optimization model selects diverse complexity elements to assemble non-intersecting, realistic, compact virtual road networks. Experimental validation with Xi’an cartographic data generated virtual road networks.

Found-RL: foundation model-enhanced reinforcement learning via asynchronous VLM feedback for autonomous driving

Yansong Qu, Zihao Sheng, Zilin Zilin Huang, Jiancong Chen, Yuhao Luo, Tianyi Wang, Yiheng Feng, Samuel Labi, Sikai Chen

Reinforcement learning (RL) is promising for end-to-end driving, but suffers from low sample efficiency and limited semantic interpretability. Vision-language models (VLMs) provide rich knowledge, yet their high inference cost hinders integration into RL training. We propose Found-RL, a platform for enhancing AD RL with foundation models. Its core is an asynchronous batch inference framework that decouples VLM reasoning from the simulation loop, reducing latency and enabling learning from VLM feedback. On this platform, we use VMR and AWAG to distill VLM action guidance into the policy, and adopt CLIP-based reward shaping with Conditional Contrastive Action Alignment for dense supervision. Experiments show that lightweight RL policies with millions of params can approach billion-parameter VLMs while maintaining real-time speed (~500 FPS). Code, data, and models are available at https://github.com/ys-qu/found-rl.

Examining driving behaviors and trust in an in-vehicle warning system under uncertainty: A roundabout study

Cong Zhang

ABSTRACT: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) can greatly enhance road safety by providing real-time warnings to drivers in imminent crash situations. However, the provided warning time may deviate from its designed time. There is limited research on how warning uncertainties influence drivers’ behavior, safety performance, and trust. This study conducted a driving simulator study to examine how uncertainties in warnings impact driving behaviors and trust using a roundabout driving scenario. Two warning error distributions were constructed to represent low and high warning uncertainty levels. Thirty-six participants were recruited and randomly divided into two groups under the two uncertainty levels in a driving simulator experiment. The betweengroup analysis shows that the lower warning uncertainty level group results in higher trust and that trust increases (or decreases) over time under low (or high) uncertainty levels. The within-group analysis shows that higher warning errors downgrade drivers’ trust and safety performance when the errors are high.

Ultrasonic Denoising for Intelligent Operation and Maintenance of Heavy-Haul Railways: Noise Mechanisms and Suppression Methods

jiangtao zhang

Heavy-haul railways are critical for transporting freight. However, prolonged wheel–rail interactions cause frequent rail defects, particularly in small-radius curve sections. Ultrasonic A-scan signals are essential for the non-destructive evaluation of internal rail defects. In real heavy-haul environments, these signals suffer from strong non-Gaussian coupled noise. Such noise includes structural noise, low-frequency irrelevant components, and high-frequency electrical noise. Noise aliasing obscures defect echoes and increases the risk of missed detections. Conventional denoising methods are limited by poor noise–signal separability, mode mixing, and inadequate adaptability to complex non-Gaussian signals. To address these challenges, an A-scan signal model under noise-coupled conditions is constructed by analyzing the statistical and time–frequency characteristics of different noise components.

Towards zero-forget continual learning for interactive trajectory prediction: a dynamically expandable approach

Huiqian Li, Xiaozhou Wu, Jin Huang, Zhihua Zhong

This paper identifies, analyzes, and addresses case-level forgetting in continual learning for trajectory prediction. We propose the Dynamically Expandable Interactive Trajectory Predictor (DEITP), a novel framework that preserves previously learned knowledge through a dynamic model expansion mechanism. The mechanism regulates expansion timing by assessing model similarity, thereby controlling model growth while preventing catastrophic forgetting. Furthermore, to operate in realistic task-free settings where task identity is unavailable at test time, we introduce a task identification strategy based on a familiarity autoencoder that selects the most appropriate expert for prediction. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that DEITP substantially mitigates forgetting and achieves zero-forgetting performance when task identities are known.
