∙ control methods. For the evaluation of the trained RL policy, we simulated i) 100 driving scenarios during which the autonomous vehicle follows the RL driving policy, ii) 100 driving scenarios during which the default configuration of SUMO was used to move forward the autonomous vehicle, and iii) 100 scenarios during which the behavior of the autonomous vehicle is the same as the manual driving vehicles, i.e. The interaction of the agent with the environment can be explicitly defined by a policy function, that maps states to actions. Optimal control methods aim to overcome these limitations by allowing for the concurrent consideration of environment dynamics and carefully designed objective functions for modelling the goals to be achieved [1]. Under certain assumptions, simplifications and conservative estimates, heuristic rules can be used towards this direction. No guarantees for collision-free trajectory is the price paid for deriving a learning based approach capable of generalizing to unknown driving situations and inferring with minimal computational cost, driving actions. proposed policy makes minimal or no assumptions about the environment, since no Marina, L., et al. For this reason, there is an imminent need for developing a low-level mechanism capable to translate the action coming from the RL policy to low-level commands, and, then implement them in a safe aware manner. This state representation is a matrix that contains information about the absolute velocities of vehicles, as well as, relative positions of other vehicles with respect to the autonomous vehicle. Although this drawback is prohibitive for applying such a policy in real world environments, a mechanism can be developed to translate the actions proposed by the RL policy in low level controls and then implement them in a safe aware manner. ∙ The autonomous vehicle should be able to avoid collisions, move with a desired speed, and avoid unnecessary lane changes and accelerations. The selection of weights defines the importance of each penalty function to the overall reward. The driving policy should generate a collision-free trajectory, which should permit the autonomous vehicle to move forward with a desired speed, and, at the same time, minimize its longitudinal and lateral accelerations (passengers’ comfort). This review summarises deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms, provides a taxonomy of automated driving tasks where (D)RL methods have been employed, highlights the key challenges algorithmically as well as in terms of deployment of real world autonomous driving agents, the role of simulators in training agents, and finally methods to evaluate, test and robustifying existing solutions … merging on highways. 07/10/2018 ∙ by Mayank K.

Variable v and vd stand for the real and the desired speed of the autonomous vehicle. Before proceeding to the experimental results, we have to mention that the employed DDQN comprises of two identical neural networks with two hidden layers with 256 and 128 neurons. Reinforcement learning (RL) and deep reinforcement learning have been introduced into the AUV design and research to improve its autonomy. Where d is the minimum distance the ego car gets to a traffic vehicle during the trial.

The proposed methodology approaches the problem of driving policy development by exploiting recent advances in, . The state representation of the environment, includes information that is associated solely with the position and the velocity of the vehicles. Specifically, we define seven available actions; i) change lane to the left or right, ii) accelerate or decelerate with a constant acceleration or deceleration of 1m/s2 or 2m/s2, and iii) move with the current speed at the current lane.

The penalty function for collision avoidance should feature high values at the gross obstacle space, and low values outside of that space. ∙ Moreover, the autonomous vehicle is making decisions by selecting one action every. The problem of path planning for autonomous vehicles can be seen as a problem of generating a sequence of states that must be tracked by the vehicle. We used three different error magnitudes; ±5%, ±10%, and ±15%. J. Liu, P. Hou, L. Mu, Y. Yu, and C. Huang. We also introduce two penalty terms for minimizing accelerations and lane changes. Abstract: Reinforcement learning has steadily improved and outperform human in lots of traditional games since the resurgence of deep neural network. Experience replay takes the approach of not training our neural network in real time. We assume that the mechanism which translates these goals to low-level controls and implements them is given. In the first one the desired speed for the slow manual driving vehicles was set to 18m/s, while in the second one to 16m/s. In these scenarios, the simulator moves the manual driving vehicles, while the autonomous vehicle moves by following the RL policy and by solving a DP problem (which utilizes the same objective functions and actions as the RL algorithm).

Each autonomous vehicle will use Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM)-Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) models to find out the anticipated distance variation resulting from its actions and input this to the new deep reinforcement learning algorithm (NDRL) which attempts to reduce the variation in distance. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning has received considerable attention after the outstanding performance of AlphaGo. However, it results to a collision rate of 2%-4%, which is its main drawback. In order to achieve this, RL policy implements more lane changes per scenario. For penalizing accelerations we use the term. The mit–cornell collision and why it happened. However, these success is not easy to be copied to autonomous driving because the state spaces in real world are extreme complex and action spaces are continuous and fine control is required. 1. Moreover, it is able to produce actions with very low computational cost via the evaluation of a function, and what is more important, it is capable of generalizing to previously unseen driving situations. In Reference [ 21 ], deep reinforcement learning is used to control the electric motor’s power output, optimizing the hybrid electric vehicle’s fuel economy. The duration of all simulated scenarios was 60 seconds. Therefore, the reward signal must reflect all these objectives by employing one penalty function for collision avoidance, one that penalizes deviations from the desired speed and two penalty functions for unnecessary lane changes and accelerations. 05/22/2019 ∙ by Konstantinos Makantasis, et al.

Irrespective of whether a perfect (σ=0) or an imperfect (σ=0.5) driver is considered for the manual driving vehicles, the RL policy is able to move forward the autonomous vehicle faster than the SUMO simulator, especially when slow vehicles are much slower than the autonomous one. stands for the minimum safe distance, and, denote the lanes occupied by the autonomous vehicle and the. ) The development of such a mechanism is the topic of our ongoing work, which comes to extend this preliminary study and provide a complete methodology for deriving RL collision-free policies. Note that given current LiDAR and camera sensing technologies such an assumption can be considered valid. In the second set of experiments we evaluate the behavior of the autonomous vehicle when it follows the RL policy and when it is controlled by SUMO. In this paper, we propose a new control strategy of self-driving vehicles using the deep reinforcement learning model, in which learning with an experience of professional driver and a Q-learning algorithm with filtered experience replay are proposed. This talk proposes the use of Partially Observable Markov Games for formulating the connected autonomous driving problems with realistic assumptions. For each one of the different densities 100 scenarios of 60 seconds length were simulated. This is the simple basis for RL agents that learn parkour-style locomotion, robotic soccer skills, and yes, autonomous driving with end-to-end deep learning using policy gradients. In this paper, we present a deep reinforcement learning (RL) approach for the problem of dispatching autonomous vehicles for taxi services. In this work the weights were set, using a trial and error procedure, as follows: w1=1, w2=0.5, w3=20, w4=0.01, w5=0.01. Multi-vehicle and multi-lane scenarios, however, present unique chal-lenges due to constrained navigation and unpredictable vehicle interactions. The driving policy development problem is formulated from an autonomous vehicle perspective, and, thus, there is no need to make any assumptions regarding the kind of other vehicles (manual driving or autonomous) that occupy the road. and testing of autonomous vehicles.

This attacker-autonomous vehicle action reaction can be studied through the game theory formulation with incorporating the deep learning tools. Very recently, RL methods have been proposed as a challenging alternative towards the development of driving policies. Moreover, in order to simulate realistic scenarios two different types of manual driving vehicles are used; vehicles that want to advance faster than the autonomous vehicle and vehicles that want to advance slower. 0 But these sensors and communication links have great security and safety concerns as they can be attacked by an adversary to take the control of an autonomous vehicle by influencing their data. At each time step, measurement errors proportional to the distance between the autonomous vehicle and the manual driving vehicles are introduced. Furthermore, we do not permit the manual driving cars to implement cooperative and strategic lane changes. Moreover, the autonomous vehicle is making decisions by selecting one action every one second, which implies that lane changing actions are also feasible. We also evaluated the robustness of the RL policy to measurement errors regarding the position of the manual driving vehicles. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.
