Abstract

This study looks at the facilitation of computer vision and machine learning, which helps Autonomous vehicles (AVs) make pertinent decisions before entering a roundabout. A deep learning-based decision-making system (DBDM) is proposed in order to make a correct “Enter” or “Wait” decision when an AV enters a roundabout. In this regard, videos of human drivers negotiating different normal roundabouts, differing in terms of size, are employed alongside a range of different learning algorithms (e.g. VGG-16, Resnet-50 and Xception). In total, 130 videos captured at normal roundabouts were used to test the models, and VGG-16 performed best with an accuracy rate of 92.57% comparing with pervious work (GBIPA-SC-NR), thus suggesting that the proposed DBDM method can be applied effectively for AVs.
