自动驾驶行为规划在与道路使用者交互方面取得了显著进展,但在与弱势道路使用者的复杂多智能体环境中实现类人预测与决策仍是关键挑战。现有研究主要针对小型移动机器人群体导航,难以直接应用于自动驾驶,因二者决策策略和动态边界存在本质差异。此外,仿真中行人遵循固定行为模式,无法动态响应自动驾驶车辆的动作。为此,本文提出一种新型框架,用于建模自动驾驶与多个行人的交互。该框架将受自由能原理启发的认知过程建模方法融入自动驾驶与行人模型中。具体而言,提出的行人认知-风险社交力模型利用认知不确定性与物理风险的融合度量,调节目标导向力与排斥力,生成类人轨迹。同时,自动驾驶利用此融合风险构建动态、风险感知的邻接矩阵,嵌入软演员-批评家架构中的图卷积网络,以做出更合理、更明智的决策。仿真结果表明,相比最先进方法,本框架显著提升了自动驾驶在安全性、效率和路径平滑性方面的表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in autonomous vehicle (AV) behavior planning have shown impressive social interaction capabilities when interacting with other road users. However, achieving human-like prediction and decision-making in interactions with vulnerable road users remains a key challenge in complex multi-agent interactive environments. Existing research focuses primarily on crowd navigation for small mobile robots, which cannot be directly applied to AVs due to inherent differences in their decision-making strategies and dynamic boundaries. Moreover, pedestrians in these multi-agent simulations follow fixed behavior patterns that cannot dynamically respond to AV actions. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a novel framework for modeling interactions between the AV and multiple pedestrians. In this framework, a cognitive process modeling approach inspired by the Free Energy Principle is integrated into both the AV and pedestrian models to simulate more realistic interaction dynamics. Specifically, the proposed pedestrian Cognitive-Risk Social Force Model adjusts goal-directed and repulsive forces using a fused measure of cognitive uncertainty and physical risk to produce human-like trajectories. Meanwhile, the AV leverages this fused risk to construct a dynamic, risk-aware adjacency matrix for a Graph Convolutional Network within a Soft Actor-Critic architecture, allowing it to make more reasonable and informed decisions. Simulation results indicate that our proposed framework effectively improves safety, efficiency, and smoothness of AV navigation compared to the state-of-the-art method.
