Driver-WM: A Driver-Centric Traffic-Conditioned Latent World Model for In-Cabin Dynamics Rollout

Safe L2/L3 driving automation requires anticipating human-in-the-loop reactions during shared-control transitions. While most driving world models forecast the external environment, in-cabin intelligence remains strictly recognition-oriented and lacks multi-step rollout capabilities for driver dynamics. We introduce Driver-WM, a driver-centric latent world model that rolls out in-cabin dynamics causally conditioned on out-cabin traffic context. This formulation unifies physical kinematics forecasting with auxiliary behavioral and emotional semantic recognition. Operating in a compact latent space constructed from frozen vision-language features, Driver-WM adopts a dual-stream architecture to separately encode external traffic and internal driver states. These streams are directionally coupled via a gated causal injection mechanism, which uses a learned vector gate to modulate external contextual perturbations while strictly enforcing temporal causality. Evaluations on a multi-task assistive driving benchmark demonstrate that Driver-WM yields robust long-horizon geometric forecasting for reactive high-motion maneuvers and improves semantic alignment for both driver and traffic states. Finally, the explicit external-to-internal conditioning allows for controlled test-time interventions to systematically analyze mechanism responses.

A Comparative Study of Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Transferable Energy Management Strategies for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

The deep reinforcement learning-based energy management strategies (EMS) have become a promising solution for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). When driving cycles are changed, the neural network will be retrained, which is a time-consuming and laborious task. A more efficient way of choosing EMS is to combine deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with transfer learning, which can transfer knowledge of one domain to the other new domain, making the network of the new domain reach convergence values quickly. Different exploration methods of DRL, including adding action space noise and parameter space noise, are compared against each other in the transfer learning process in this work. Results indicate that the network added parameter space noise is more stable and faster convergent than the others. In conclusion, the best exploration method for transferable EMS is to add noise in the parameter space, while the combination of action space noise and parameter space noise generally performs poorly.

An Ensemble Learning Framework for Vehicle Trajectory Prediction in Interactive Scenarios

Precisely modeling interactions and accurately predicting trajectories of surrounding vehicles are essential to the decision-making and path-planning of intelligent vehicles. This paper proposes a novel framework based on ensemble learning to improve the performance of trajectory predictions in interactive scenarios. The framework is termed Interactive Ensemble Trajectory Predictor (IETP). IETP assembles interaction-aware trajectory predictors as base learners to build an ensemble learner. Firstly, each base learner in IETP observes historical trajectories of vehicles in the scene. Then each base learner handles interactions between vehicles to predict trajectories. Finally, an ensemble learner is built to predict trajectories by applying two ensemble strategies on the predictions from all base learners. Predictions generated by the ensemble learner are final outputs of IETP. In this study, three experiments using different data are conducted based on the NGSIM dataset. Experimental results show that IETP improves the predicting accuracy and decreases the variance of errors compared to base learners. In addition, IETP exceeds baseline models with 50% of the training data, indicating that IETP is data-efficient. Moreover, the implementation of IETP is publicly available at https://github.com/BIT-Jack/IETP.

Graph Convolution-Based Deep Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Agent Decision-Making in Mixed Traffic Environments

An efficient and reliable multi-agent decision-making system is highly demanded for the safe and efficient operation of connected autonomous vehicles in intelligent transportation systems. Current researches mainly focus on the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods. However, utilizing DRL methods in interactive traffic scenarios is hard to represent the mutual effects between different vehicles and model the dynamic traffic environments due to the lack of interactive information in the representation of the environments, which results in low accuracy of cooperative decisions generation. To tackle these difficulties, this research proposes a framework to enable different Graph Reinforcement Learning (GRL) methods for decision-making, and compares their performance in interactive driving scenarios. GRL methods combinate the Graph Neural Network (GNN) and DRL to achieve the better decisions generation in interactive scenarios of autonomous vehicles, where the features of interactive scenarios are extracted by the GNN, and cooperative behaviors are generated by DRL framework. Several GRL approaches are summarized and implemented in the proposed framework. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GRL methods, an interactive driving scenarios on highway with two ramps is constructed, and simulated experiment in the SUMO platform is carried out to evaluate the performance of different GRL approaches. Finally, results are analyzed in multiple perspectives and dimensions to compare the characteristic of different GRL approaches in intelligent transportation scenarios. Results show that the implementation of GNN can well represents the interaction between vehicles, and the combination of GNN and DRL is able to improve the performance of the generation of lane-change behaviors.

Autonomous Formula Racecar: Overall System Design and Experimental Validation

This paper develops and summarizes the work of building the autonomous integrated system including perception system and vehicle dynamic controller for a formula student autonomous racecar. We propose a system framework combining X-by-wired modification, perception & motion planning and vehicle dynamic control as a template of FSAC racecar which can be easily replicated. A LIDAR-vision cooperating method of detecting traffic cone which is used as track mark is proposed. Detection algorithm of the racecar also implements a precise and high rate localization method which combines the GPS-INS data and LIDAR odometry. Besides, a track map including the location and color information of the cones is built simultaneously. Finally, the system and vehicle performance on a closed loop track is tested. This paper also briefly introduces the Formula Student Autonomous Competition (FSAC).

Driver Behavior Modelling at the Urban Intersection via Canonical Correlation Analysis

The urban intersection is a typically dynamic and complex scenario for intelligent vehicles, which exists a variety of driving behaviors and traffic participants. Accurately modelling the driver behavior at the intersection is essential for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Previous researches mainly focus on using attention mechanism to model the degree of correlation. In this research, a canonical correlation analysis (CCA)-based framework is proposed. The value of canonical correlation is used for feature selection. Gaussian mixture model and Gaussian process regression are applied for driver behavior modelling. Two experiments using simulated and naturalistic driving data are designed for verification. Experimental results are consistent with the driver's judgment. Comparative studies show that the proposed framework can obtain a better performance.

High-precision target positioning system for unmanned vehicles based on binocular vision

Unmanned vehicles often need to locate targets with high precision during work. In the unmanned material handling workshop, the unmanned vehicle needs to perform high-precision pose estimation of the workpiece to accurately grasp the workpiece. In this context, this paper proposes a high-precision unmanned vehicle target positioning system based on binocular vision. The system uses a region-based stereo matching algorithm to obtain a disparity map, and uses the RANSAC algorithm to extract position and posture features, which achives the estimation of the position and attitude of a six-degree-of-freedom cylindrical workpiece. In order to verify the effect of the system, this paper collects the accuracy and calculation time of the output results of the cylinder in different poses. The experimental data shows that the position accuracy of the system is 0.61~1.17mm and the angular accuracy is 1.95~5.13°, which can achieve better high-precision positioning effect.

Stochastic Graph Recurrent Neural Network

Representation learning over graph structure data has been widely studied due to its wide application prospects. However, previous methods mainly focus on static graphs while many real-world graphs evolve over time. Modeling such evolution is important for predicting properties of unseen networks. To resolve this challenge, we propose SGRNN, a novel neural architecture that applies stochastic latent variables to simultaneously capture the evolution in node attributes and topology. Specifically, deterministic states are separated from stochastic states in the iterative process to suppress mutual interference. With semi-implicit variational inference integrated to SGRNN, a non-Gaussian variational distribution is proposed to help further improve the performance. In addition, to alleviate KL-vanishing problem in SGRNN, a simple and interpretable structure is proposed based on the lower bound of KL-divergence. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Code is available at https://github.com/StochasticGRNN/SGRNN.
