Learning to Segment and Represent Motion Primitives from Driving Data for Motion Planning Applications
Developing an intelligent vehicle which can perform human-like actions
requires the ability to learn basic driving skills from a large amount of
naturalistic driving data. The algorithms will become efficient if we could
decompose the complex driving tasks into motion primitives which represent the
elementary compositions of driving skills. Therefore, the purpose of this paper
is to segment unlabeled trajectory data into a library of motion primitives. By
applying a probabilistic inference based on an iterative
Expectation-Maximization algorithm, our method segments the collected
trajectories while learning a set of motion primitives represented by the
dynamic movement primitives. The proposed method utilizes the mutual
dependencies between the segmentation and representation of motion primitives
and the driving-specific based initial segmentation. By utilizing this mutual
dependency and the initial condition, this paper presents how we can enhance
the performance of both the segmentation and the motion primitive library
establishment. We also evaluate the applicability of the primitive
representation method to imitation learning and motion planning algorithms. The
model is trained and validated by using the driving data collected from the
Beijing Institute of Technology intelligent vehicle platform. The results show
that the proposed approach can find the proper segmentation and establish the
motion primitive library simultaneously
Driver Digital Twin for Online Prediction of Personalized Lane Change Behavior
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are supposed to share the road with
human-driven vehicles (HDVs) in a foreseeable future. Therefore, considering
the mixed traffic environment is more pragmatic, as the well-planned operation
of CAVs may be interrupted by HDVs. In the circumstance that human behaviors
have significant impacts, CAVs need to understand HDV behaviors to make safe
actions. In this study, we develop a Driver Digital Twin (DDT) for the online
prediction of personalized lane change behavior, allowing CAVs to predict
surrounding vehicles' behaviors with the help of the digital twin technology.
DDT is deployed on a vehicle-edge-cloud architecture, where the cloud server
models the driver behavior for each HDV based on the historical naturalistic
driving data, while the edge server processes the real-time data from each
driver with his/her digital twin on the cloud to predict the lane change
maneuver. The proposed system is first evaluated on a human-in-the-loop
co-simulation platform, and then in a field implementation with three passenger
vehicles connected through the 4G/LTE cellular network. The lane change
intention can be recognized in 6 seconds on average before the vehicle crosses
the lane separation line, and the Mean Euclidean Distance between the predicted
trajectory and GPS ground truth is 1.03 meters within a 4-second prediction
window. Compared to the general model, using a personalized model can improve
prediction accuracy by 27.8%. The demonstration video of the proposed system
can be watched at https://youtu.be/5cbsabgIOdM
Implicit personalization in driving assistance: State-of-the-art and open issues
In recent decades, driving assistance systems have been evolving towards personalization for adapting to different drivers. With the consideration of driving preferences and driver characteristics, these systems become more acceptable and trustworthy. This article presents a survey on recent advances in implicit personalized driving assistance. We classify the collection of work into three main categories: 1) personalized Safe Driving Systems (SDS), 2) personalized Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), and 3) personalized In-vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). For each category, we provide a comprehensive review of current applications and related techniques along with the discussion of industry status, benefits of personalization, application prospects, and future focal points. Both relevant driving datasets and open issues about personalized driving assistance are discussed to facilitate future research. By creating an organized categorization of the field, we hope that this survey could not only support future research and the development of new technologies for personalized driving assistance but also facilitate the application of these techniques within the driving automation community</h2
