自动驾驶系统安全性至关重要,尤其当依赖基于人工智能的感知模块时。由于AI算法的黑箱特性,闭环分析与综合尤为困难,如建立闭环稳定性并确保性能,而这些是保障自动驾驶安全的基础。为此,本文旨在开发针对基于AI的自动驾驶系统的新型建模、分析与综合工具。受近期感知误差模型(PEMs)进展启发,研究重点从直接建模感知过程转向表征其产生的感知误差。考虑两类关键的AI引发感知误差:误检与测量噪声,分别采用连续时间马尔可夫链和维纳过程建模。基于此,提出一种融合感知误差的驾驶模型,利用随机微积分建立了某类基于AI的自动驾驶系统闭环稳定性。进一步提出一种性能保证的输出反馈控制综合方法,确保系统稳定与良好性能。该方法被形式化为凸优化问题,可高效求解。结果应用于自适应巡航控制(ACC)场景,验证了其在感知数据被污染或误导情况下的有效性与鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Safety is a critical concern in autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, especially when AI-based sensing and perception modules are involved. However, due to the black box nature of AI algorithms, it makes closed-loop analysis and synthesis particularly challenging, for example, establishing closed-loop stability and ensuring performance, while they are fundamental to AV safety. To approach this difficulty, this paper aims to develop new modeling, analysis, and synthesis tools for AI-based AVs. Inspired by recent developments in perception error models (PEMs), the focus is shifted from directly modeling AI-based perception processes to characterizing the perception errors they produce. Two key classes of AI-induced perception errors are considered: misdetection and measurement noise. These error patterns are modeled using continuous-time Markov chains and Wiener processes, respectively. By means of that, a PEM-augmented driving model is proposed, with which we are able to establish the closed-loop stability for a class of AI-driven AV systems via stochastic calculus. Furthermore, a performance-guaranteed output feedback control synthesis method is presented, which ensures both stability and satisfactory performance. The method is formulated as a convex optimization problem, allowing for efficient numerical solutions. The results are then applied to an adaptive cruise control (ACC) scenario, demonstrating their effectiveness and robustness despite the corrupted and misleading perception.
