Abstract: Methods of determining which kinematic model an autonomous vehicle (AV) should use to predict motion of a detected moving actor are disclosed. One or more sensors of the AV sensors will detect a moving actor. The AV will assign one or more probable classes to the actor, and it will process the information to determine a kinematic state of the actor. The system will query a library of kinematic models to return one or more kinematic models that are associated with each of the probable classes. The system will apply each of the returned kinematic models to predict trajectories of the actor. The system will then evaluate each of the forecasted trajectories of the actor against the kinematic state of the actor to select one of the returned kinematic models to predict a path for the actor. The system will then use the predicted path to plan motion of the AV.
