Learning knowledge from driving encounters could help self-driving cars make appropriate decisions when driving in complex settings with nearby vehicles engaged. This paper develops an unsupervised classifier to group naturalistic driving encounters into distinguishable clusters by combining an auto-encoder with k-means clustering (AE-kMC). The effectiveness of AE-kMC was validated using the data of 10,000 naturalistic driving encounters which were collected by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in the past five years. We compare our developed method with the $k$-means clustering methods and experimental results demonstrate that the AE-kMC method outperforms the original k-means clustering method.

It is necessary to thoroughly evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Connected Vehicles (CVs) algorithm before their release and deployment. Current evaluation approach mainly relies on simulation platform with the single-vehicle driving model. The main drawback of it is the lack of network realism. To overcome this problem, we extract naturalistic V2V encounters data from the database, and then separate the primary vehicle encounter category by clustering. A fast mining algorithm is proposed that can be applied to parallel query for further process acceleration. 4,500 encounters are mined from a 275 GB database collected in the Safety Pilot Model Program in Ann Arbor Michigan, USA. K-means and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) are used in clustering. Results show this method can quickly mine and cluster primary driving scenarios from a large database. Our results separate the car-following, intersection and by-passing, which are the primary category of the vehicle encounter. We anticipate the work in the essay can become a general method to effectively extract vehicle encounters from any existing database that contains vehicular GPS information. Whats more, the naturalistic data of different vehicle encounters can be applied in Connected Vehicles evaluation.
Unsupervised active learning has attracted increasing attention in recent years, where its goal is to select representative samples in an unsupervised setting for human annotating. Most existing works are based on shallow linear models by assuming th at each sample can be well approximated by the span (i.e., the set of all linear combinations) of certain selected samples, and then take these selected samples as representative ones to label. However, in practice, the data do not necessarily conform to linear models, and how to model nonlinearity of data often becomes the key point to success. In this paper, we present a novel Deep neural network framework for Unsupervised Active Learning, called DUAL. DUAL can explicitly learn a nonlinear embedding to map each input into a latent space through an encoder-decoder architecture, and introduce a selection block to select representative samples in the the learnt latent space. In the selection block, DUAL considers to simultaneously preserve the whole input patterns as well as the cluster structure of data. Extensive experiments are performed on six publicly available datasets, and experimental results clearly demonstrate the efficacy of our method, compared with state-of-the-arts.
With the development of deep representation learning, the domain of reinforcement learning (RL) has become a powerful learning framework now capable of learning complex policies in high dimensional environments. This review summarises deep reinforcem ent learning (DRL) algorithms and provides a taxonomy of automated driving tasks where (D)RL methods have been employed, while addressing key computational challenges in real world deployment of autonomous driving agents. It also delineates adjacent domains such as behavior cloning, imitation learning, inverse reinforcement learning that are related but are not classical RL algorithms. The role of simulators in training agents, methods to validate, test and robustify existing solutions in RL are discussed.
Making the right decision in traffic is a challenging task that is highly dependent on individual preferences as well as the surrounding environment. Therefore it is hard to model solely based on expert knowledge. In this work we use Deep Reinforceme nt Learning to learn maneuver decisions based on a compact semantic state representation. This ensures a consistent model of the environment across scenarios as well as a behavior adaptation function, enabling on-line changes of desired behaviors without re-training. The input for the neural network is a simulated object list similar to that of Radar or Lidar sensors, superimposed by a relational semantic scene description. The state as well as the reward are extended by a behavior adaptation function and a parameterization respectively. With little expert knowledge and a set of mid-level actions, it can be seen that the agent is capable to adhere to traffic rules and learns to drive safely in a variety of situations.
Data driven approaches for decision making applied to automated driving require appropriate generalization strategies, to ensure applicability to the worlds variability. Current approaches either do not generalize well beyond the training data or are not capable to consider a variable number of traffic participants. Therefore we propose an invariant environment representation from the perspective of the ego vehicle. The representation encodes all necessary information for safe decision making. To assess the generalization capabilities of the novel environment representation, we train our agents on a small subset of scenarios and evaluate on the entire diverse set of scenarios. Here we show that the agents are capable to generalize successfully to unseen scenarios, due to the abstraction. In addition we present a simple occlusion model that enables our agents to navigate intersections with occlusions without a significant change in performance.
