Pedestrian trajectory prediction method based on group perception by WANG Ruyan, ZHOU Yudie, WU Dapeng, DUAN Ang, CUI Yaping, HE Peng

“…In inter-group, the interaction between pedestrian groups was learned at the group level and the collision issue of pedestrian trajectory was considered using the social force model. Simulation results demonstrate that GPCNet improves the performance on the ETH and UCY datasets by 75.4% compared to the commonly used trajectory prediction methods.…”

Exponential Fields Formulation for WMR Navigation by Edgar A. Martínez-García, Rafael Torres-Cordoba

“…The framework tackles 4 issues. 1) Reformulation of the Social Force Model (SFM) adapted to WMR; 2) the cohesion of a general inertial scheme to represents motion in any coordinate system; 3) control of actuators rotational speed as a general model regardless kinematic restrictions; 4) assuming detection of features (obstacles/goals), adaptive numeric weights are formulated to affect navigational exponential components. …”
