On-Demand Scenario Generation for Testing Automated Driving Systems
- 基于真实数据学习,用风险调节器控制场景危险等级。
- 在Carla仿真中验证可生成不同风险级别的多样化场景。
- 适合评估自动驾驶系统在各类路况下的安全表现。
自动驾驶系统(ADS)的安全与可靠性至关重要,需通过严格测试发现潜在缺陷。传统方法要么侧重自然场景采样,要么聚焦高危场景生成,导致测试过于简单或不现实。实际测试需求随目标变化:有的关注真实路况下的可靠性,有的关注极端情况下的安全性,也有的需覆盖中间状态(如应对不守规矩司机)。为此,本文提出按需场景生成框架(OSG),可生成不同风险等级的多样化交通场景。该框架从真实交通数据中学习,并引入风险强度调节器定量控制风险水平;同时采用改进的启发式搜索策略保障各风险等级下场景多样性。我们在Carla仿真环境中对多个ADS进行了评估,验证了OSG能有效生成多风险层级的场景,并通过对比不同风险级别下的事故类型,证明其必要性。借助OSG,可系统、客观地按风险等级比较不同ADS的表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The safety and reliability of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) are paramount, necessitating rigorous testing methodologies to uncover potential failures before deployment. Traditional testing approaches often prioritize either natural scenario sampling or safety-critical scenario generation, resulting in overly simplistic or unrealistic hazardous tests. In practice, the demand for natural scenarios (e.g., when evaluating the ADS's reliability in real-world conditions), critical scenarios (e.g., when evaluating safety in critical situations), or somewhere in between (e.g., when testing the ADS in regions with less civilized drivers) varies depending on the testing objectives. To address this issue, we propose the On-demand Scenario Generation (OSG) Framework, which generates diverse scenarios with varying risk levels. Achieving the goal of OSG is challenging due to the complexity of quantifying the criticalness and naturalness stemming from intricate vehicle-environment interactions, as well as the need to maintain scenario diversity across various risk levels. OSG learns from real-world traffic datasets and employs a Risk Intensity Regulator to quantitatively control the risk level. It also leverages an improved heuristic search method to ensure scenario diversity. We evaluate OSG on the Carla simulators using various ADSs. We verify OSG's ability to generate scenarios with different risk levels and demonstrate its necessity by comparing accident types across risk levels. With the help of OSG, we are now able to systematically and objectively compare the performance of different ADSs based on different risk levels.
