Abstract
Driving safety has always been a core concern in the field of Autonomous driving vehicles, and the safety issue of interaction between the ego-vehicle and the surrounding vehicles is particularly important in lane-changing scenarios. This paper proposes a deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm (DDPG) based on driving risk for obstacle avoidance decision-making model (RISK-DDPG), which aims to learn risk-aware driving decision-making strategies at a minimized cost. The DDPG algorithm is used to learn the minimally risky driving strategy by using Gaussian risk field to assess the magnitude of the risk of obstacles and the value of the driving risk quantum as a reward function. The performance of the proposed algorithm in this paper is evaluated against traditional obstacle avoidance algorithms by evaluating the performance in the CARLA simulation environment. The results show that the proposed model achieves safer obstacle avoidance decisions while speeding up the model convergence.
