Book Robust End to end Learning for Autonomous Vehicles

Download or read book Robust End to end Learning for Autonomous Vehicles written by Alexander Andre Amini and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep learning has been successfully applied to "end-to-end" learning of the autonomous driving task, where a deep neural network learns to predict steering control commands from camera data input. While these works support reactionary control, the representation learned is not usable for higher-level decision making required for autonomous navigation. This thesis tackles the problem of learning a representation to predict a continuous control probability distribution, and thus steering control options and bounds for those options, which can be used for autonomous navigation. Each mode in the learned distribution encodes a possible macro-action that the system could execute at that instant, and the covariances of the modes place bounds on safe steering control values. Our approach has the added advantage of being trained solely on unlabeled data collected from inexpensive cameras. In addition to uncertainty estimates computed directly by our model, we add robustness by developing a novel stochastic dropout sampling technique for estimating the inherent confidence of the model's output. We install the relevant processing hardware pipeline on-board a full-scale autonomous vehicle and integrate our learning algorithms for real-time control inference. Finally, we evaluate our models on a challenging dataset containing a wide variety of driving conditions, and show that the algorithms developed as part of this thesis are capable of successfully controlling the vehicle on real roads and even under a parallel autonomy paradigm wherein control is shared between human and robot.

Book Deep Learning for Autonomous Vehicle Control

Download or read book Deep Learning for Autonomous Vehicle Control written by Sampo Kuutti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next generation of autonomous vehicles will provide major improvements in traffic flow, fuel efficiency, and vehicle safety. Several challenges currently prevent the deployment of autonomous vehicles, one aspect of which is robust and adaptable vehicle control. Designing a controller for autonomous vehicles capable of providing adequate performance in all driving scenarios is challenging due to the highly complex environment and inability to test the system in the wide variety of scenarios which it may encounter after deployment. However, deep learning methods have shown great promise in not only providing excellent performance for complex and non-linear control problems, but also in generalizing previously learned rules to new scenarios. For these reasons, the use of deep neural networks for vehicle control has gained significant interest. In this book, we introduce relevant deep learning techniques, discuss recent algorithms applied to autonomous vehicle control, identify strengths and limitations of available methods, discuss research challenges in the field, and provide insights into the future trends in this rapidly evolving field.

Book Predictive Control Strategy for Automated Driving Systems Under Mixed Traffic Lane Change Conditions

Download or read book Predictive Control Strategy for Automated Driving Systems Under Mixed Traffic Lane Change Conditions written by Kunsong Shi and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent development of technologies, automated vehicles and connectedautomated vehicles (CAVs) have been researched and developed. However, mass deployment of fully automated vehicles is very difficult to achieve in the near future because of the high cost of high level autonomous vehicles. Automated driving system (ADS) like the Connected and automated vehicle highway (CAVH) system that can utilize roadside infrastructure is one of the best approaches for large scale deployment for CAVs because the system can reduce the workload and cost of a single vehicle. However, mass deployment of ADS will still take some time. Therefore, in the near future, mixed traffic conditions containing CAVs and human driven vehicles will be the predominant condition. Safe and efficient control for autonomous vehicles under mixed is still a very challenging task for the automated driving system. In this research, we present a predictive control strategy for automated driving systems under mixed traffic lane change conditions. To achieve this goal, we first proposed a deep learning based lane change prediction module that considers a new lane change prediction scenario that is more realistic by considering more surrounding vehicles. Then we developed a deep learning based integrated two dimensional vehicle trajectory prediction module. This integrated model can predict combined behaviors of car-following and lane change. Then we created a predictive deep reinforcement learning based CAV controller that can utilize the predicted information to generate safe and efficient longitudinal control for CAVs under mixed traffic lane change conditions. Several experiments are conducted using the trajectory data Next Generation Simulation (NGSIM) dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed modules. The experiment result shows that our lane change prediction module can accurately predict human lane change behavior under the defined lane change condition. Moreover, the experiment result demonstrates that the proposed integrated two dimensional trajectory prediction model can accurately predict both lane change trajectories and car-following trajectories. In addition, experiments for the deep reinforcement learning-based CAV controller showed that the proposed controller can improve traffic safety and efficiency of CAVs under mixed traffic lane change conditions.
