Adversarial Risk Analysis for Automated Lane-Changing in Heterogeneous Traffic
摘要
The global transition from manned to automated vehicles is anticipated to occur incrementally. As such, interactions between automated driving systems (ADS) and manned vehicles motivate related decision-support research. This manuscript develops a novel modeling framework based on adversarial risk analysis focusing on lane-changing maneuvers. An empirical evaluation is provided within a simulated environment serving to validate the modeling approach and solution methodology under a specified traffic scene. Additional model extensions to alternative traffic scenes and different driver-rationality assumptions are provided. In so doing, we showcase the potential for decision theory to manage ADS behavior in heterogeneous traffic. This research also highlights the need for an ADS to prudently balance computational resources between perception and decision tasks.
