Claim 11:
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to classify an interaction between the AV and the actor to:
perform, in response to predicting a collision, an interaction classification to identify a time step associated with an instance of the collision, wherein the interaction classification identifies the time step in a time sequence of a collision time interval that a first polygon intersection is found,
wherein the first polygon intersection identifies the collision time interval based on a first longitudinal margin of a plurality of longitudinal margins that indicates a collision; and
otherwise, a time interval, perform an interaction classification to identify a spatial longitudinal margin accounted to be a minimum spatial longitudinal margin in a location interval of a reference path when the actor is predicted to be the least distance from the candidate trajectory of the AV, or alternatively, identify the time interval over a longitudinal location interval of the actor when it is predicted to have a minimum lateral offset value from the candidate trajectory of the AV.
