contents One of the key factors determining whether autonomous vehicles (AVs) can be seamlessly integrated into existing traffic systems is their ability to interact smoothly and efficiently with human drivers and communicate their intentions. While many studies have focused on enhancing AVs' human-like interaction and communication capabilities at the behavioral decision-making level, a significant gap remains between the actual motion trajectories of AVs and the psychological expectations of human drivers. This discrepancy can seriously affect the safety and efficiency of AV-HV (Autonomous Vehicle-Human Vehicle) interactions. To address these challenges, we propose a motion planning method for AVs that incorporates implicit intention expression. First, we construct a trajectory space constraint based on human implicit intention priors, compressing and pruning the trajectory space to generate candidate motion trajectories that consider intention expression. We then apply maximum entropy inverse reinforcement learning to learn and estimate human trajectory preferences, constructing a reward function that represents the cognitive characteristics of drivers. Finally, using a Boltzmann distribution, we establish a probabilistic distribution of candidate trajectories based on the reward obtained, selecting human-like trajectory actions. We validated our approach on a real trajectory dataset and compared it with several baseline methods. The results demonstrate that our method excels in human-likeness, intention expression capability, and computational efficiency.
