Vehicle-trajectory prediction is essential for intelligent traffic systems (ITS), as it can help autonomous vehicles to plan a safe and efficient path. However, it is still a challenging task because existing studies have mainly focused on the spatial interactions of adjacent vehicles regardless of the temporal dependencies. In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal attentive LSTM encoder&ndash:decoder model (STAM-LSTM) to predict vehicle trajectories. Specifically, the spatial attention mechanism is used to capture the spatial relationships among neighboring vehicles and then obtain the global spatial feature. Meanwhile, the temporal attention mechanism is designed to distinguish the effects of different historical time steps on future trajectory prediction. In addition, the motion feature of vehicles is extracted to reveal the influence of dynamic information on vehicle-trajectory prediction, and is combined with the local and global spatial features to represent the integrated features of the target vehicle at each historical moment. The experiments were conducted on public highway trajectory datasets&mdash:US-101 and I-80 in NGSIM&mdash:and the results demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art prediction performance.
