Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach for Autonomous Vehicles to Cross Junctions
摘要
Autonomous driving has the ability to reduce the frequency of traffic accidents by eliminating the possibility of human error, which is a major cause of accidents. Considering various scenarios in autonomous driving, crossing intersections is one of the most complex scenarios. This study addresses a solution for autonomous vehicles (AVs) based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which will be helpful for crossing intersections safely and efficiently. DRL-enabled decision-making framework is used in this research to train the AVs to drive through intersections without any collisions. The interaction between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and other vehicles was modeled using the Markov decision process (MDP), and the optimal driving policy was obtained using the deep Q-network algorithm. Performance was measured based on the success rate and missed opportunities.
