arXiv:2609.02252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In trajectory planning for autonomous driving, hybrid planning architectures are often realized as a collection of disparate modules, each with its own objectives. This lack of a unifying principle can lead to inconsistencies between the initial and refined trajectory, resulting in suboptimal behavior. We address this by introducing DiffuSearch, a novel hybrid planner that uses a unified set of objectives across generation and refinement. Our model encourages all components to follow the same shared driving goals: collision avoidance, drivable area compliance, comfort, and progress. DiffuSearch employs a two-stage architecture. First, a guided diffusion model generates a scene-consistent, joint trajectory prediction, using our driving objectives as differentiable guidance functions to implicitly steer the denoising process. Second, a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) in a discretized action space performs an explicit, local refinement of

arXiv:2608.30199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This data article presents a high-resolution, long-term synthetic electric-vehicle (EV) charging dataset for Trondheim, Norway, spanning February 2020 to December 2030. Empirically grounded in 14 months of historical charging logs from December 2018 to January 2020, the dataset captures session-level behavioral patterns, including delivered energy, plug-in duration, connection schedules, user categorization (private vs. shared), seasonal variations, public-holiday effects, and daily ambient temperature dependencies. To model future electrification dynamics, the synthetic generation pipeline integrates historical session records, calendar and weather features from MET Norway, annual EV-adoption growth multipliers derived from Statistics Norway (SSB) registration trajectories, a daily session-count model, a Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Network (CTGAN), seasonal Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and post-generation physical
