Lane-changing (LC) behavior describes the lateral movement of the vehicle from the current-lane to the target-lane while proceeding forward. Among the many research directions, LC duration (LCD) measures the total time it takes for a…
As automated vehicles (AVs) increasingly share roadways with human-driven vehicles (HDVs), understanding how pedestrians respond to different vehicle types in safety-critical interactions is essential for the safe deployment of automated…
Traffic signal control has long been considered as a critical topic in intelligent transportation systems. Most existing learning methods mainly focus on isolated intersections and suffer from inefficient training. This paper aims at the…
To plan safe trajectories in urban environments, autonomous vehicles must be able to quickly assess the future intentions of dynamic agents. Pedestrians are particularly challenging to model, as their motion patterns are often uncertain…
Many current autonomous systems are being designed with a strong reliance on black box predictions from deep neural networks (DNNs). However, DNNs tend to be overconfident in predictions on unseen data and can give unpredictable results for…
Lane change in dense traffic typically requires the recognition of an appropriate opportunity for maneuvers, which remains a challenging problem in self-driving. In this work, we propose a chance-aware lane-change strategy with high-level…
Recently, safe reinforcement learning (RL) with the actor-critic structure for continuous control tasks has received increasing attention. It is still challenging to learn a near-optimal control policy with safety and convergence…
Situational awareness in vehicular networks could be substantially improved utilizing reliable trajectory prediction methods. More precise situational awareness, in turn, results in notably better performance of critical safety…
The real-time crash likelihood prediction model is an essential component of the proactive traffic safety management system. Over the years, numerous studies have attempted to construct a crash likelihood prediction model in order to…
This paper presents an online smooth-path lane-change control framework. We focus on dense traffic where inter-vehicle space gaps are narrow, and cooperation with surrounding drivers is essential to achieve the lane-change maneuver. We…
Lane changing and lane merging remains a challenging task for autonomous driving, due to the strong interaction between the controlled vehicle and the uncertain behavior of the surrounding traffic participants. The interaction induces a…
The objective of this paper is to develop a sample efficient end-to-end deep learning method for self-driving cars, where we attempt to increase the value of the information extracted from samples, through careful analysis obtained from…
Autonomous driving promises to transform road transport. Multi-vehicle and multi-lane scenarios, however, present unique challenges due to constrained navigation and unpredictable vehicle interactions. Learning-based methods---such as deep…
To enable autonomous vehicles to perform discretionary lane change amidst the random traffic flow on highways, this paper introduces a decision-making and control method for vehicle lane change based on Model Predictive Control (MPC). This…
With the rapid development of urbanization, the boom of vehicle numbers has resulted in serious traffic accidents, which led to casualties and huge economic losses. The ability to predict the risk of traffic accident is important in the…
Collision avoidance -- involving a rapid threat detection and quick execution of the appropriate evasive maneuver -- is a critical aspect of driving. However, existing models of human collision avoidance behavior are fragmented, focusing on…
Annually, a large number of injuries and deaths around the world are related to motor vehicle accidents. This value has recently been reduced to some extent, via the use of driver-assistance systems. Developing driver-assistance systems…
Traffic accident anticipation aims to predict accidents from dashcam videos as early as possible, which is critical to safety-guaranteed self-driving systems. With cluttered traffic scenes and limited visual cues, it is of great challenge…
The time it takes for a classifier to make an accurate prediction can be crucial in many behaviour recognition problems. For example, an autonomous vehicle should detect hazardous pedestrian behaviour early enough for it to take appropriate…
This paper provides a general framework for efficiently obtaining the appropriate intervention time for collision avoidance systems to just avoid a rear-end crash. The proposed framework incorporates a driver comfort model and a vehicle…
