生成对抗性安全关键场景是测试自动驾驶系统的重要方法,可识别潜在弱点并提升系统鲁棒性。然而现有方法多聚焦无限制碰撞场景,导致非玩家控制(NPC)车辆无差别攻击自车,忽视了场景的真实性、合理性与相关性,产生大量极端、虚构且不现实的碰撞事件。为此,本文提出一种三层相对安全区域模型,按危险等级划分区域,提高NPC车辆进入相对边界区域的概率。该模型引导NPC在相对安全边界内实施对抗行为,增强场景真实性。结合强化学习,我们构建了AuthSim平台,首次全面解决自动驾驶测试场景的真与效问题。实验表明,AuthSim在生成有效安全关键场景方面优于现有方法:平均切入距离提升5.25%,平均碰撞间隔时间增长27.12%,同时保持更高生成效率,显著优于当前主流方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generating adversarial safety-critical scenarios is a pivotal method for testing autonomous driving systems, as it identifies potential weaknesses and enhances system robustness and reliability. However, existing approaches predominantly emphasize unrestricted collision scenarios, prompting non-player character (NPC) vehicles to attack the ego vehicle indiscriminately. These works overlook these scenarios' authenticity, rationality, and relevance, resulting in numerous extreme, contrived, and largely unrealistic collision events involving aggressive NPC vehicles. To rectify this issue, we propose a three-layer relative safety region model, which partitions the area based on danger levels and increases the likelihood of NPC vehicles entering relative boundary regions. This model directs NPC vehicles to engage in adversarial actions within relatively safe boundary regions, thereby augmenting the scenarios' authenticity. We introduce AuthSim, a comprehensive platform for generating authentic and effective safety-critical scenarios by integrating the three-layer relative safety region model with reinforcement learning. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to address the authenticity and effectiveness of autonomous driving system test scenarios comprehensively. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AuthSim outperforms existing methods in generating effective safety-critical scenarios. Notably, AuthSim achieves a 5.25% improvement in average cut-in distance and a 27.12% enhancement in average collision interval time, while maintaining higher efficiency in generating effective safety-critical scenarios compared to existing methods. This underscores its significant advantage in producing authentic scenarios over current methodologies.
