How to Make a Braking Strategy about Invisible Obstacles : Autonomous Driving in Blind Spot

초록/요약

A blind spot is an area around a vehicle that the driver can not see directly or through mirrors, posing challenges in detecting vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. This visibility issue is more pronounced on curved roads due to visual obstructions and the angle of the road surface. Addressing blind spots in autonomous driving environments on curved roads is crucial for developing effective braking strategies. This paper presents a novel approach that integrates Imitation Learning(IL), Dataset Aggregation(DAgger) and Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL) to formulate a braking strategy for invisible obstacles. Initially, the method uses expert dataset to train basic autonomous driving and safety braking strategies through IL. DAgger then refines the dataset by aggregating action outcomes and filtering out ineffective policies. Lastly, the fine-tuning process through DRL enhances learning speed using the validated dataset. Utilizing the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG) algorithm, the proposed model measures safety driving speed and distance, executing an optimal vehicle braking strategy. This comprehensive approach results in a significant reduction in collision rate by 26.2% on curved roads.
