We propose a safe DRL approach for autonomous vehicle (AV) navigation through crowds of pedestrians while making a left turn at an unsignalized intersection. Our method uses two long-short term memory (LSTM) models that are trained to generate the perceived state of the environment and the future trajectories of pedestrians given noisy observations of their movement. A future collision prediction algorithm based on the future trajectories of the ego vehicle and pedestrians is used to mask unsafe actions if the system predicts a collision. The performance of our approach is evaluated in two experiments using the high-fidelity CARLA simulation environment. The first experiment tests the performance of our method at intersections that are similar to the training intersection and the second experiment tests our method at intersections with a different topology. For both experiments, our methods do not result in a collision with a pedestrian while still navigating the intersection at a reasonable speed.

Prior research has extensively explored Autonomous Vehicle (AV) navigation in the presence of other vehicles, however, navigation among pedestrians, who are the most vulnerable element in urban environments, has been less examined. This paper explore
s AV navigation in crowded, unsignalized intersections. We compare the performance of different deep reinforcement learning methods trained on our reward function and state representation. The performance of these methods and a standard rule-based approach were evaluated in two ways, first at the unsignalized intersection on which the methods were trained, and secondly at an unknown unsignalized intersection with a different topology. For both scenarios, the rule-based method achieves less than 40% collision-free episodes, whereas our methods result in a performance of approximately 100%. Of the three methods used, DDQN/PER outperforms the other two methods while it also shows the smallest average intersection crossing time, the greatest average speed, and the greatest distance from the closest pedestrian.
Decision-making module enables autonomous vehicles to reach appropriate maneuvers in the complex urban environments, especially the intersection situations. This work proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based left-turn decision-making framew
ork at unsignalized intersection for autonomous vehicles. The objective of the studied automated vehicle is to make an efficient and safe left-turn maneuver at a four-way unsignalized intersection. The exploited DRL methods include deep Q-learning (DQL) and double DQL. Simulation results indicate that the presented decision-making strategy could efficaciously reduce the collision rate and improve transport efficiency. This work also reveals that the constructed left-turn control structure has a great potential to be applied in real-time.
Uncertainties in Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based perception and vehicles motion pose challenges to the development of safe autonomous driving vehicles. In this paper, we propose a safe motion planning framework featuring the quantification and propag
ation of DNN-based perception uncertainties and motion uncertainties. Contributions of this work are twofold: (1) A Bayesian Deep Neural network model which detects 3D objects and quantitatively captures the associated aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties of DNNs; (2) An uncertainty-aware motion planning algorithm (PU-RRT) that accounts for uncertainties in object detection and ego-vehicles motion. The proposed approaches are validated via simulated complex scenarios built in CARLA. Experimental results show that the proposed motion planning scheme can cope with uncertainties of DNN-based perception and vehicle motion, and improve the operational safety of autonomous vehicles while still achieving desirable efficiency.
Autonomous driving in multi-agent and dynamic traffic scenarios is challenging, where the behaviors of other road agents are uncertain and hard to model explicitly, and the ego-vehicle should apply complicated negotiation skills with them to achieve
both safe and efficient driving in various settings, such as giving way, merging and taking turns. Traditional planning methods are largely rule-based and scale poorly in these complex dynamic scenarios, often leading to reactive or even overly conservative behaviors. Therefore, they require tedious human efforts to maintain workability. Recently, deep learning-based methods have shown promising results with better generalization capability but less hand engineering effort. However, they are either implemented with supervised imitation learning (IL) that suffers from the dataset bias and distribution mismatch problems, or trained with deep reinforcement learning (DRL) but focus on one specific traffic scenario. In this work, we propose DQ-GAT to achieve scalable and proactive autonomous driving, where graph attention-based networks are used to implicitly model interactions, and asynchronous deep Q-learning is employed to train the network end-to-end in an unsupervised manner. Extensive experiments through a high-fidelity driving simulation show that our method can better trade-off safety and efficiency in both seen and unseen scenarios, achieving higher goal success rates than the baselines (at most 4.7$times$) with comparable task completion time.

For a foreseeable future, autonomous vehicles (AVs) will operate in traffic together with human-driven vehicles. Their planning and control systems need extensive testing, including early-stage testing in simulations where the interactions among auto
nomous/human-driven vehicles are represented. Motivated by the need for such simulation tools, we propose a game-theoretic approach to modeling vehicle interactions, in particular, for urban traffic environments with unsignalized intersections. We develop traffic models with heterogeneous (in terms of their driving styles) and interactive vehicles based on our proposed approach, and use them for virtual testing, evaluation, and calibration of AV control systems. For illustration, we consider two AV control approaches, analyze their characteristics and performance based on the simulation results with our developed traffic models, and optimize the parameters of one of them.
