Abstract
In this paper, we want to strengthen an autonomous vehicle’s lane-change ability with limited lane changes performed by the autonomous system. In other words, our task is bootstrapping the predictability of lane-change feasibility for the autonomous vehicle. Unfortunately, autonomous lane changes happen much less frequently in autonomous runs than in manual-driving runs. Augmented runs serve well in terms of data augmentation: the number of samples generated from augmented runs in a single one is comparable with that of samples retrieved from real runs in a month. In this paper, we formulate the Lane-Change Feasibility Prediction problem and also propose a data-driven learning approach to solve it. Experimental results are also presented to show the effectiveness of learned lane-change patterns for the decision making.
