Pedestrian collision avoidance is a relevant safety aspect for autonomous driving systems operating in urban scenarios. This paper presents a Reinforcement Learning approach to endow the resulting agent with the following two competing capabilities: managing unexpected pedestrian crossings and tracking a specific trajectory. In particular, we use the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, a model-free off-policy algorithm for learning continuous actions. The effectiveness of the proposed Reinforcement Learning system and the associated training approach is demonstrated by means of numerical simulations.

Abstract
Pedestrian collision avoidance is a relevant safety aspect for autonomous driving systems operating in urban scenarios. This paper presents a Reinforcement Learning approach to endow the resulting agent with the following two competing capabilities: managing unexpected pedestrian crossings and tracking a specific trajectory. In particular, we use the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, a model-free off-policy algorithm for learning continuous actions. The effectiveness of the proposed Reinforcement Learning system and the associated training approach is demonstrated by means of numerical simulations.File in questo prodotto:
