contents Vehicle trajectory prediction is central to highway perception, but deployment on roadside edge devices necessitates bounded, deterministic end-to-end latency. We present EdgeVTP, an embedded-first trajectory predictor that combines interaction-aware graph modeling with a lightweight transformer backbone and a one-shot curve decoder. By predicting future motion as compact curve parameters (anchored at the last observed position) rather than horizon-scaled autoregressive waypoints, EdgeVTP reduces decoding overhead while producing smooth trajectories. To keep runtime predictable in crowded scenes, we explicitly bound interaction complexity via a locality graph with a hard neighbor cap. Across three highway benchmarks and two Jetson-class platforms, EdgeVTP achieves the lowest measured end-to-end latency under a protocol that includes graph construction and post-processing, while attaining state-of-the-art (SotA) prediction accuracy on two of the three datasets and competitive error on other benchmarks. Our code is available at https://github.com/SeungjinStevenKim/EdgeVTP.
