RECTOR: Priority-Aware Rule-Based Reranking for Compliance-Aware Autonomous Driving Trajectory Selection
The paper presents RECTOR, a rule-based reranking system designed for autonomous driving trajectory selection. It prioritizes safety, legal compliance, road conditions, and comfort in its decision-making process. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in safety and legal violations compared to traditional confidence-based selection methods.
- ▪RECTOR uses a tiered rulebook to score trajectory candidates based on safety, legality, road conditions, and comfort.
- ▪The system achieved a reduction in safety and legal violations from 28.58% to 20.42% compared to confidence-only methods.
- ▪Under adversarial conditions, confidence-only selection failed in 100% of scenarios, while rule-aware selectors maintained a 96% success rate.
