提出基于场景体积的自动驾驶安全评估方法,解决复杂场景下评估难问题。

Towards Full-Scenario Safety Evaluation of Automated Vehicles: A Volume-Based Method

  • 用统一模型标准化多样驾驶场景,降低维度至三车道六车背景
  • 以场景空间中危险区域占比量化风险,避免依赖概率数据
  • 证明特定条件下安全场景集为凸集,可精确计算体积,适合高阶自动驾驶评估

近年来自动驾驶汽车快速发展,商业化产品已具备高级别自动化能力。然而,现有安全评估方法多针对单车跟驰、变道等简单操作,难以应对复杂环境中的高阶功能评估。首先,传统方法依赖碰撞率指标,其准确性高度依赖自然驾驶数据的质量与完整性,而此类数据采集困难且成本高昂。其次,面对多样化场景时,方法易受维度灾难影响,导致大规模评估计算不可行。为此,本文提出一种面向全场景的自动驾驶安全评估新框架。首先引入统一模型,标准化不同驾驶场景表示;该建模方式将多数场景约束为三车道、六辆周边车辆的常规高速路设定,显著降低维度。为进一步规避概率法局限,提出基于体积的评估方法,通过计算危险场景在整体场景空间中的占比来量化风险。针对跟车场景,证明在特定条件下安全场景集合为凸集,支持精确体积计算。实验验证了该方法的有效性,采用文献中的自动驾驶行为模型及六个从Ultra-AV数据集真实轨迹校准的量产级自动驾驶模型进行测试。论文接受后将公开代码与数据。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the rapid development of automated vehicles (AVs) in recent years, commercially available AVs are increasingly demonstrating high-level automation capabilities. However, most existing AV safety evaluation methods are primarily designed for simple maneuvers such as car-following and lane-changing. While suitable for basic tests, these methods are insufficient for assessing high-level automation functions deployed in more complex environments. First, these methods typically use crash rate as the evaluation metric, whose accuracy heavily depends on the quality and completeness of naturalistic driving environment data used to estimate scenario probabilities. Such data is often difficult and expensive to collect. Second, when applied to diverse scenarios, these methods suffer from the curse of dimensionality, making large-scale evaluation computationally intractable. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel framework for full-scenario AV safety evaluation. A unified model is first introduced to standardize the representation of diverse driving scenarios. This modeling approach constrains the dimension of most scenarios to a regular highway setting with three lanes and six surrounding background vehicles, significantly reducing dimensionality. To further avoid the limitations of probability-based method, we propose a volume-based evaluation method that quantifies the proportion of risky scenarios within the entire scenario space. For car-following scenarios, we prove that the set of safe scenarios is convex under specific settings, enabling exact volume computation. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed volume-based method using both AV behavior models from existing literature and six production AV models calibrated from field-test trajectory data in the Ultra-AV dataset. Code and data will be made publicly available upon acceptance of this paper.
