    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle, a system and method of operating the autonomous vehicle. An environmental sensor obtains one or more parameters of external agents of the vehicle. A processor of the vehicle obtains a route having a destination at the autonomous vehicle, builds a Markov state model of the route that includes a plurality of states for the autonomous vehicle and one or more parameters of the external agents, generates a plurality of driving policies for navigating the route, selects a policy for navigating the route from the plurality of driving policies using a Markov Decision Process, and executes the selected policy at the autonomous vehicle to navigate the vehicle along the route towards the destination.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining a vehicle action to be carried out by an autonomous vehicle based on a composite behavior policy. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a behavior query that indicates which of a plurality of constituent behavior policies are to be used to execute the composite behavior policy, wherein each of the constituent behavior policies maps a vehicle state to one or more vehicle actions; determining an observed vehicle state based on onboard vehicle sensor data, wherein the onboard vehicle sensor data is obtained from one or more onboard vehicle sensors of the vehicle; selecting a vehicle action based on the composite behavior policy; and carrying out the selected vehicle action at the vehicle.

    Abstract: Presented are scenario-planning and route-generating distributed computing systems, methods for operating/constructing such systems, and vehicles with scenario-plan selection and real-time trajectory planning capabilities. A method for controlling operation of a motor vehicle includes determining vehicle state data, such as a current position and velocity of the vehicle, and path plan data, such as an origin and desired destination of the vehicle. A remote computing node off-board from the motor vehicle generates a list of trajectory plan candidates based on the vehicle state data, the path plan data, and current road scenario data. The remote computing node then calculates a respective travel cost for each candidate in the trajectory plan candidates list, and sorts the list from lowest to highest travel cost. The candidate with the lowest travel cost is transmitted to a resident vehicle controller. The vehicle controller executes an automated driving operation based on the received trajectory plan candidate.
