自动驾驶车辆(AV)有望提升交通安全性与效率,但其在真实环境中的可靠性仍面临挑战,尤其体现在罕见且意外的“边缘场景”上。尽管已有多种边缘场景检测方法,但缺乏全面的综述。本文通过分层结构化回顾与系统性分类,梳理了边缘场景检测与评估技术:第一层面按自动驾驶模块划分,包括感知与轨迹相关(含预测、规划、控制)子系统;第二层面基于底层方法与理论框架。此外,引入“知识驱动”方法,借助专家经验与领域知识识别训练数据中缺失的异常情形。本文还分析了评估方法与指标,涵盖检测性能、部署开销(如计算资源)、以及特定领域指标(如碰撞率与严重性分析)。最后指出关键挑战:数据质量与数量不足、验证与可解释性限制、仿真到现实的差距及算力约束。本研究的分层分类体系支持模块化测试框架构建,指导特定子系统选择检测方法,并促进仿真场景生成与真实世界定向验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Automated vehicles (AVs) promise to enhance transportation safety and efficiency. However, ensuring their reliability in real-world conditions remains challenging, particularly due to rare and unexpected situations known as edge cases. While numerous approaches exist for detecting edge cases, a comprehensive survey reviewing these techniques is lacking. This paper bridges this gap by presenting a hierarchical review and systematic classification of edge case detection and assessment methodologies. Our classification is structured on two levels: first, by AV modules, including perception and trajectory-related (encompassing prediction, planning, and control) subsystems; and second, by underlying methodologies and theories guiding these techniques. Furthermore, we introduce "knowledge-driven" approaches, which complement data-driven methods by leveraging expert insights and domain knowledge to identify cases absent in training datasets. We then examine techniques and metrics for evaluating edge case detection methods, including detection performance, practical deployment (e.g., computational overhead), and domain-specific measures (e.g., crash rates and severity analysis). We conclude by highlighting key challenges for edge case detection, including data availability and quality issues, validation and interpretability limitations, the simulation-to-real gap, and computational constraints. The hierarchical classification and review of methods and assessment techniques in this survey enable modular and targeted testing frameworks by guiding the selection of detection methods for specific AV subsystems while considering methodological principles. It also supports practical testing by facilitating scenario generation in simulation and focused subsystem validation in the real world.
