S2O: 主観的な感覚と客観的評価を橋渡しする統合型運転意思決定性能評価手法

原文アブストラクト

Autonomous driving decision-making is one of the critical modules towards intelligent transportation systems, and how to evaluate the driving performance comprehensively and precisely is a crucial challenge. A biased evaluation misleads and hinders decision-making modification and development. Current planning evaluation metrics include deviation from the real driver trajectory and objective driving experience indicators. The former category does not necessarily indicate good driving performance since human drivers also make errors and has been proven to be ineffective in interactive close-loop systems. On the other hand, existing objective driving experience models only consider limited factors, lacking comprehensiveness. And the integration mechanism of various factors relies on intuitive experience, lacking precision. In this research, we propose S2O, a novel integrated decision-making evaluation method bridging subjective human feeling to objective evaluation. First, modified fundamental models of four kinds of driving factors which are safety, time efficiency, comfort, and energy efficiency are established to cover common driving factors. Then based on the analysis of human rating distribution regularity, a segmental linear fitting model in conjunction with a complementary SVM segment classifier is designed to express human's subjective rating by objective driving factor terms. Experiments are conducted on the D2E dataset, which includes approximately 1,000 driving cases and 40,000 human rating scores. Results show that S2O achieves a mean absolute error of 4.58 to ground truth under a percentage scale. Compared with baselines, the evaluation error is reduced by 32.55%. Implementation on the SUMO platform proves the real-time efficiency of online evaluation, and validation on performance evaluation of three autonomous driving planning algorithms proves the feasibility.
