在典型的自主驾驶堆栈中,计划和控制系统代表了两个最关键的组件,其中传感器检索并通过感知算法处理的数据用于实施安全舒适的自动驾驶行为。特别是,计划模块可以预测自动驾驶汽车应遵循正确的高级操作的路径,而控制系统则执行一系列低级动作,控制转向角度,油门和制动器。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个无模型的深钢筋学习计划者培训一个可以预测加速度和转向角度的神经网络,从而获得了一个单个模块,可以使用自我自我的本地化和感知算法处理的数据来驱动车辆-驾车。特别是,在模拟中进行了全面训练的系统能够在模拟和帕尔马市现实世界中的无障碍环境中平稳驱动,证明该系统具有良好的概括能力,也可以驱动驱动在培训方案之外的那些部分。此外,为了将系统部署在真正的自动驾驶汽车上,并减少模拟和现实世界中的差距,我们还开发了一个由微小的神经网络表示的模块,能够在期间重现真正的车辆动态行为模拟的培训。

在自主驾驶场中,人类知识融合到深增强学习(DRL)通常基于在模拟环境中记录的人类示范。这限制了在现实世界交通中的概率和可行性。我们提出了一种两级DRL方法,从真实的人类驾驶中学习,实现优于纯DRL代理的性能。培训DRL代理商是在Carla的框架内完成了机器人操作系统(ROS)。对于评估,我们设计了不同的真实驾驶场景,可以将提出的两级DRL代理与纯DRL代理进行比较。在从人驾驶员中提取“良好”行为之后,例如在信号交叉口中的预期,该代理变得更有效,并且驱动更安全,这使得这种自主代理更适应人体机器人交互(HRI)流量。

行人在场的运动控制算法对于开发安全可靠的自动驾驶汽车(AV)至关重要。传统运动控制算法依赖于手动设计的决策政策,这些政策忽略了AV和行人之间的相互作用。另一方面,深度强化学习的最新进展允许在没有手动设计的情况下自动学习政策。为了解决行人在场的决策问题,作者介绍了一个基于社会价值取向和深入强化学习(DRL)的框架,该框架能够以不同的驾驶方式生成决策政策。该政策是在模拟环境中使用最先进的DRL算法培训的。还引入了适合DRL训练的新型计算效率的行人模型。我们执行实验以验证我们的框架,并对使用两种不同的无模型深钢筋学习算法获得的策略进行了比较分析。模拟结果表明,开发的模型如何表现出自然的驾驶行为,例如短暂的驾驶行为,以促进行人的穿越。

End-to-end autonomous driving provides a feasible way to automatically maximize overall driving system performance by directly mapping the raw pixels from a front-facing camera to control signals. Recent advanced methods construct a latent world model to map the high dimensional observations into compact latent space. However, the latent states embedded by the world model proposed in previous works may contain a large amount of task-irrelevant information, resulting in low sampling efficiency and poor robustness to input perturbations. Meanwhile, the training data distribution is usually unbalanced, and the learned policy is hard to cope with the corner cases during the driving process. To solve the above challenges, we present a semantic masked recurrent world model (SEM2), which introduces a latent filter to extract key task-relevant features and reconstruct a semantic mask via the filtered features, and is trained with a multi-source data sampler, which aggregates common data and multiple corner case data in a single batch, to balance the data distribution. Extensive experiments on CARLA show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of sample efficiency and robustness to input permutations.

We introduce CARLA, an open-source simulator for autonomous driving research. CARLA has been developed from the ground up to support development, training, and validation of autonomous urban driving systems. In addition to open-source code and protocols, CARLA provides open digital assets (urban layouts, buildings, vehicles) that were created for this purpose and can be used freely. The simulation platform supports flexible specification of sensor suites and environmental conditions. We use CARLA to study the performance of three approaches to autonomous driving: a classic modular pipeline, an endto-end model trained via imitation learning, and an end-to-end model trained via reinforcement learning. The approaches are evaluated in controlled scenarios of increasing difficulty, and their performance is examined via metrics provided by CARLA, illustrating the platform's utility for autonomous driving research.

The last decade witnessed increasingly rapid progress in self-driving vehicle technology, mainly backed up by advances in the area of deep learning and artificial intelligence. The objective of this paper is to survey the current state-of-the-art on deep learning technologies used in autonomous driving. We start by presenting AI-based self-driving architectures, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, as well as the deep reinforcement learning paradigm. These methodologies form a base for the surveyed driving scene perception, path planning, behavior arbitration and motion control algorithms. We investigate both the modular perception-planning-action pipeline, where each module is built using deep learning methods, as well as End2End systems, which directly map sensory information to steering commands. Additionally, we tackle current challenges encountered in designing AI architectures for autonomous driving, such as their safety, training data sources and computational hardware. The comparison presented in this survey helps to gain insight into the strengths and limitations of deep learning and AI approaches for autonomous driving and assist with design choices. 1

安全驾驶需要人类和智能代理的多种功能,例如无法看到环境的普遍性,对周围交通的安全意识以及复杂的多代理设置中的决策。尽管强化学习取得了巨大的成功(RL),但由于缺乏集成的环境,大多数RL研究工作分别研究了每个能力。在这项工作中,我们开发了一个名为MetAdrive的新驾驶模拟平台,以支持对机器自治的可概括增强学习算法的研究。 Metadrive具有高度的组成性,可以从程序生成和实际数据导入的实际数据中产生无限数量的不同驾驶场景。基于Metadrive,我们在单一代理和多代理设置中构建了各种RL任务和基线,包括在看不见的场景,安全探索和学习多机构流量的情况下进行基准标记。对程序生成的场景和现实世界情景进行的概括实验表明,增加训练集的多样性和大小会导致RL代理的推广性提高。我们进一步评估了元数据环境中各种安全的增强学习和多代理增强学习算法,并提供基准。源代码,文档和演示视频可在\ url {https://metadriverse.github.io/metadrive}上获得。

Traditional planning and control methods could fail to find a feasible trajectory for an autonomous vehicle to execute amongst dense traffic on roads. This is because the obstacle-free volume in spacetime is very small in these scenarios for the vehicle to drive through. However, that does not mean the task is infeasible since human drivers are known to be able to drive amongst dense traffic by leveraging the cooperativeness of other drivers to open a gap. The traditional methods fail to take into account the fact that the actions taken by an agent affect the behaviour of other vehicles on the road. In this work, we rely on the ability of deep reinforcement learning to implicitly model such interactions and learn a continuous control policy over the action space of an autonomous vehicle. The application we consider requires our agent to negotiate and open a gap in the road in order to successfully merge or change lanes. Our policy learns to repeatedly probe into the target road lane while trying to find a safe spot to move in to. We compare against two model-predictive control-based algorithms and show that our policy outperforms them in simulation.

自动驾驶在过去二十年中吸引了重要的研究兴趣,因为它提供了许多潜在的好处,包括释放驾驶和减轻交通拥堵的司机等。尽管进展有前途,但车道变化仍然是自治车辆(AV)的巨大挑战,特别是在混合和动态的交通方案中。最近,强化学习(RL)是一种强大的数据驱动控制方法,已被广泛探索了在令人鼓舞的效果中的通道中的车道改变决策。然而,这些研究的大多数研究专注于单车展,并且在多个AVS与人类驱动车辆(HDV)共存的情况下,道路变化已经受到稀缺的关注。在本文中,我们在混合交通公路环境中制定了多个AVS的车道改变决策,作为多功能增强学习(Marl)问题,其中每个AV基于相邻AV的动作使车道变化的决定和HDV。具体地,使用新颖的本地奖励设计和参数共享方案开发了一种多代理优势演员批评网络(MA2C)。特别是,提出了一种多目标奖励功能来纳入燃油效率,驾驶舒适度和自主驾驶的安全性。综合实验结果,在三种不同的交通密度和各级人类司机侵略性下进行,表明我们所提出的Marl框架在效率,安全和驾驶员舒适方面始终如一地优于几个最先进的基准。

We present an approach for safe trajectory planning, where a strategic task related to autonomous racing is learned sample-efficient within a simulation environment. A high-level policy, represented as a neural network, outputs a reward specification that is used within the cost function of a parametric nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC). By including constraints and vehicle kinematics in the NLP, we are able to guarantee safe and feasible trajectories related to the used model. Compared to classical reinforcement learning (RL), our approach restricts the exploration to safe trajectories, starts with a good prior performance and yields full trajectories that can be passed to a tracking lowest-level controller. We do not address the lowest-level controller in this work and assume perfect tracking of feasible trajectories. We show the superior performance of our algorithm on simulated racing tasks that include high-level decision making. The vehicle learns to efficiently overtake slower vehicles and to avoid getting overtaken by blocking faster vehicles.

Proper functioning of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is crucial for the safety and efficiency of future intelligent transport systems. Meanwhile, transitioning to fully autonomous driving requires a long period of mixed autonomy traffic, including both CAVs and human-driven vehicles. Thus, collaboration decision-making for CAVs is essential to generate appropriate driving behaviors to enhance the safety and efficiency of mixed autonomy traffic. In recent years, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been widely used in solving decision-making problems. However, the existing DRL-based methods have been mainly focused on solving the decision-making of a single CAV. Using the existing DRL-based methods in mixed autonomy traffic cannot accurately represent the mutual effects of vehicles and model dynamic traffic environments. To address these shortcomings, this article proposes a graph reinforcement learning (GRL) approach for multi-agent decision-making of CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic. First, a generic and modular GRL framework is designed. Then, a systematic review of DRL and GRL methods is presented, focusing on the problems addressed in recent research. Moreover, a comparative study on different GRL methods is further proposed based on the designed framework to verify the effectiveness of GRL methods. Results show that the GRL methods can well optimize the performance of multi-agent decision-making for CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic compared to the DRL methods. Finally, challenges and future research directions are summarized. This study can provide a valuable research reference for solving the multi-agent decision-making problems of CAVs in mixed autonomy traffic and can promote the implementation of GRL-based methods into intelligent transportation systems.

强化学习(RL)已证明可以在各种任务中达到超级人类水平的表现。但是,与受监督的机器学习不同,将其推广到各种情况的学习策略仍然是现实世界中最具挑战性的问题之一。自主驾驶(AD)提供了一个多方面的实验领域,因为有必要在许多变化的道路布局和可能的交通情况大量分布中学习正确的行为,包括个人驾驶员个性和难以预测的交通事件。在本文中,我们根据可配置,灵活和性能的代码库为AD提出了一个具有挑战性的基准。我们的基准测试使用了随机场景生成器的目录,包括用于道路布局和交通变化的多种机制,不同的数值和视觉观察类型,不同的动作空间,不同的车辆模型,并允许在静态场景定义下使用。除了纯粹的算法见解外,我们面向应用程序的基准还可以更好地理解设计决策的影响,例如行动和观察空间对政策的普遍性。我们的基准旨在鼓励研究人员提出能够在各种情况下成功概括的解决方案,这是当前RL方法失败的任务。基准的代码可在https://github.com/seawee1/driver-dojo上获得。
