Enclosed are embodiments of motion control operations in various traffic scenarios in consideration of the kinematic factor for trajectory planning. In some embodiments, a method includes: determining a danger rating for at least one object identified in an environment, wherein the danger rating represents a perceived risk associated with a respective object; evaluating a set of hierarchical factors with respect to a traffic scenario, wherein a metric is derived for trajectories of the traffic scenario that quantifies passenger ride comfort based on the danger rating and the set of hierarchical factors; determining a motion control operation in the traffic scenario to increase the passenger ride comfort based on the metric; and augmenting a route planner of an autonomous vehicle with motion control operations in different traffic scenarios to increase the passenger ride comfort.
