Summary

DNC-IMM uses surrounding gaps and relative velocities to calibrate an interpretable intention model.

A neural network adjusts both the transition matrix and measurement likelihoods of an interacting multiple-model estimator rather than replacing its probabilistic decision. On the highD dataset, the calibrated posterior recognized lane changes before crossing and was strongest at two- to three-second horizons. The evidence is retrospective dataset evaluation, not a road deployment claim.
