Abstract

This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for operating a vehicle, comprising: using kinematic models to generate forecasted trajectories of an actor (the kinematic models being respectively associated with different actor types that are assigned to an actor detected in an environment of the vehicle); selecting a first kinematic model based on the forecasted trajectories and a kinematic state of the actor; using the first kinematic model to predict a first path for the actor; selecting a second kinematic model responsive to movement of the actor no longer being consistent with typical movement of an object of one of the different actor types that is associated with the first kinematic model; using the second kinematic model to predict a second path for the actor; and controlling operations of the vehicle based on the first and second paths.
