Hybrid State Representation with Attention and Collision Time Prediction for Autonomous Vehicle Decision-Making at Unsignalized Intersections
摘要
This study investigated the impact of various state representation methods on vehicle decision-making at unsignalized intersections using deep reinforcement learning. We proposed a novel hybrid state representation framework that combines an attention mechanism with collision time prediction, substantially enhancing autonomous decision-making. Unlike traditional techniques, our approach fused complementary features to improve obstacle avoidance and incorporates an action masking module to optimize traffic efficiency. To demonstrate the practicality and efficiency of the proposed method, extensive simulation experiments were conducted, and the results validate its effectiveness.
