Abstract:

A lane?change behavior decision?making method of the intelligent vehicle is proposed based on imitation learning and reinforcement learning, in which the macro decision?making module constructs the extreme gradient boosting model through imitation learning, and selects the macro instructions (lane?keeping, left lane?change and right lane?change) according to the input information, so as to determine the sub?problem of lane?change behavior decision that need to be solved. Each detailed decision?making sub?module acquires its optimized strategy through the reinforcement learning of deep deterministic strategy gradient to solve the corresponding sub?problem for determining the movement target position of ego?vehicle and sending to lower?level modules for execution. Simulation results show that the strategy learning speed of the proposed method is faster than that of pure reinforcement learning, and its comprehensive performance is better than that of finite state machine, behavior clone imitation learning and pure reinforcement learning.

Key words: intelligent vehicle, behavior decision?making, reinforcement learning, imitation learning
