The Car Forecast Stayed Accurate Without Amplifying the Shockwave
A platoon model added learned propagation delays and string-stability losses, keeping unstable windows to 0.65 percent on one five-car test.
Summary
A platoon model added learned propagation delays and string-stability losses, keeping unstable windows to 0.65 percent on one five-car test.
SSP-DMGTimeNet predicts several vehicles together while penalizing disturbance amplification through a platoon. Its attention mechanism learns response delays between adjacent cars and accumulates them downstream; time- and frequency-domain losses target string stability for neighboring vehicles and longer sub-platoons. On the HighD ground-truth excitation subset, the reported five-vehicle unstable-window rate was 0.65 percent and maximum head-to-tail amplification was 0.898. Zero-shot tests on NGSIM US-101 and I-80 produced unstable-window rates of 3.90 and 4.10 percent. The figures are dataset results, not a road-safety validation.
