Abstract:

The key to human-machine collaboration in intelligent vehicles is to focus on people. Lane changing is one of the most basic driving tasks. Accurately and efficiently predicting the driver's lane changing intention is crucial to the development of humanized human-machine collaboration. Based on the theory of driver cognitive-making space, in this paper the driver's lane changing intention prediction experiment is designed. The relationship between vehicle operation data, driver's visual characteristics and driving scenes is analyzed, and a topological relationship diagram between the driver's gaze area and the driving scene is generated. Then the driver's lane changing intention prediction model dataset with different time windows is constructed. Based on the inverse residual deep separable convolution of the ConvNeXt (convolutional network) model, combined with the attention mechanism ECA (efficient channel attention), ConvLSTM (convolutional long short term the memory) network and GCN (graph convolutional networks) figure structure, a predictive model of driver intention lane changing based on attention mechanism is built. The results show that when the time width of the data set is 3 s, the prediction accuracy of the model is the best, which is 91.15%, and the superior performance of the proposed driver lane change intention prediction model based on attention mechanism is fully verified by comparison and ablation experiments.
