IDM-Follower: A Model-Informed Deep Learning Method for Car-Following Trajectory Prediction

Published in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, 2024

We introduce a physics-informed neural network (PINN) model that integrates the Intelligent Driving Model (IDM) into a deep learning framework for car-following trajectory prediction. The proposed model exhibits robustness against real-time GPS noise.
