Developing an automated vehicle, that can handle complicated driving scenarios and appropriately interact with other road users, requires the ability to semantically learn and understand driving environment, oftentimes, based on analyzing massive amounts of naturalistic driving data. An important paradigm that allows automated vehicles to both learn from human drivers and gain insights is understanding the principal compositions of the entire traffic, termed as traffic primitives. However, the exploding data growth presents a great challenge in extracting primitives from high-dimensional time-series traffic data with various types of road users engaged. Therefore, automatically extracting primitives is becoming one of the cost-efficient ways to help autonomous vehicles understand and predict the complex traffic scenarios. In addition, the extracted primitives from raw data should 1) be appropriate for automated driving applications and also 2) be easily used to generate new traffic scenarios. However, existing literature does not provide a method to automatically learn these primitives from large-scale traffic data. The contribution of this letter has two manifolds. The first one is that we proposed a new framework to generate new traffic scenarios from a handful of limited traffic data. The second one is that, we introduce a nonparametric Bayesian learning method-a sticky hierarchical Dirichlet process hidden Markov model-to automatically extract primitives from multidimensional traffic data without prior knowledge of the primitive settings. The developed method is then validated using one day of naturalistic driving data. Experiment results show that the nonparametric Bayesian learning method is able to extract primitives from traffic scenarios where both the binary and continuous events coexist.
