A Driving Decision Strategy (DDS) Based on Machine Learning for an Autonomous Vehicle

A current autonomous vehicle determines its driving strategy by considering only external factors (Pedestrians, road conditions, etc.) without considering the interior condition of the vehicle. To solve the problem, this paper proposes “A Driving Decision Strategy(DDS) Based on Machine learning for an autonomous vehicle” which determines the optimal strategy of an autonomous vehicle by analyzing not only the external factors, but also the internal factors of the vehicle (consumable conditions, RPM levels etc.). The DDS learns a genetic algorithm using sensor data from vehicles stored in the cloud and determines the optimal driving strategy of an autonomous vehicle. This paper compared the DDS with MLP and RF neural network models to validate the DDS. In the experiment, the DDS had a loss rate approximately 5% lower than existing vehicle gateways and the DDS determined RPM, speed, steering angle and lane changes 40% faster than the MLP and 22% faster than the RF[1].
