Decision-making model of autonomous vehicle behavior based on risk prediction

A behavioral decision-making model for autonomous vehicles based on driver behavior prediction was proposed, in order to solve the problem of right-of-way assignment at an unsignalized intersection in the human-machine hybrid driving environment. Fuzzy logic method was used to construct the driver's risk perception model. Then the human-driven vehicle’s behavior selection strategy was predicted based on the risk equilibrium theory and the acceptable risk interval. Finally the comprehensive utility function of autonomous vehicle was established, using game theory to solve the optimal behavior strategy combination, and realize the coordinated control of vehicles at an unsignalized intersection. Simulation results show that autonomous vehicles can effectively avoid collision accidents and improve the efficiency of autonomous vehicles passing through unsignalized intersections when facing heterogeneous drivers and guarantees that driver risk perception values are within acceptable ranges. Among the 15 experiments conducted, 93.3% of the experimental groups were able to ensure that the time difference of vehicles passing through the conflict point was larger than the acceptable safe transit interval. The travel time of the autonomous vehicle was 1.07~2.43 times that of free flow under different situations. Experimental comparison between the proposed method and the unpredicted selfish game method shows that the proposed method can significantly improve the autonomous vehicle’s traffic efficiency.
