This paper proposes a vehicle-parking trajectory planning method that addresses the issues of a long trajectory planning time and difficult training convergence during automatic parking. The process involves two stages: finding a parking space and parking planning. The first stage uses model predictive control (MPC) for trajectory tracking from the initial position of the vehicle to the starting point of the parking operation. The second stage employs the proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm to transform the parking behavior into a reinforcement learning process. A four-dimensional reward function is set to evaluate the strategy based on a formal reward, guiding the adjustment of neural network parameters and reducing the exploration of invalid actions. Finally, a simulation environment is built for the parking scene, and a network framework is designed. The proposed method is compared with the deep deterministic policy gradient and double-delay deep deterministic policy gradient algorithms in the same scene. Results confirm that the MPC controller accurately performs trajectory-tracking control with minimal steering wheel angle changes and smooth, continuous movement. The PPO-based reinforcement learning method achieves shorter learning times, totaling only 30% and 37.5% of the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) and twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3), and the number of iterations to reach convergence for the PPO algorithm with the introduction of the four-dimensional evaluation metrics is 75% and 68% shorter compared to the DDPG and TD3 algorithms, respectively. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing a slow convergence and long training times in parking trajectory planning, improving parking timeliness. Full article

This study presents smooth and fast feasible trajectory generation for autonomous driving vehicles subject to the vehicle physical constraints on the vehicle power, speed, acceleration as well as the hard limitations of the vehicle steering angle and the steering angular speed. This is due to the fact the vehicle speed and the vehicle steering angle are always in a strict relationship for safety purposes, depending on the real vehicle driving constraints, the environmental conditions, and the surrounding obstacles. Three different methods of the position quintic polynomial, speed quartic polynomial, and symmetric polynomial function for generating the vehicle trajectories are presented and illustrated with simulations. The optimal trajectory is selected according to three criteria: Smoother curve, smaller tracking error, and shorter distance. The outcomes of this paper can be used for generating online trajectories for autonomous driving vehicles and auto-parking systems. Full article

Misconceptions of vehicle automation functionalities lead to either non-use or dangerous misuse of assistant systems, harming the users’ experience by reducing potential comfort or compromise safety. Thus, users must understand how and when to use an assistant system. In a preliminary online survey, we examined the use, trust, and the perceived understanding of modern vehicle assistant systems. Despite remaining incomprehensibility (36–64%), experienced misunderstandings (up to 9%), and the need for training (around 30%), users reported high trust in the systems. In the following study with first-time users, we examine the effect of different User Onboarding approaches for an automated parking assistant system in a Tesla and compare the traditional text-based manual with a multimodal augmented reality (AR) smartphone application in means of user acceptance, UX, trust, understanding, and task performance. While the User Onboarding experience for both approaches shows high pragmatic quality, the hedonic quality was perceived significantly higher in AR. For the automated parking process, reported hedonic and pragmatic user experience, trust, automation understanding, and acceptance do not differ, yet the observed task performance was higher in the AR condition. Overall, AR might help motivate proper User Onboarding and better communicate how to operate the system for inexperienced users. Full article

This paper proposes a self-calibration method that can be applied for multiple larger field-of-view (FOV) camera models on an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). Firstly, the proposed method performs a series of pre-processing steps such as edge detection, length thresholding, and edge grouping for the segregation of robust line candidates from the pool of initial distortion line segments. A novel straightness cost constraint with a cross-entropy loss was imposed on the selected line candidates, thereby exploiting that novel loss to optimize the lens-distortion parameters using the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) optimization approach. The best-fit distortion parameters are used for the undistortion of an image frame, thereby employing various high-end vision-based tasks on the distortion-rectified frame. In this study, an investigation was carried out on experimental approaches such as parameter sharing between multiple camera systems and model-specific empirical γ -residual rectification factor. The quantitative comparisons were carried out between the proposed method and traditional OpenCV method as well as contemporary state-of-the-art self-calibration techniques on KITTI dataset with synthetically generated distortion ranges. Famous image consistency metrics such as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), and position error in salient points estimation were employed for the performance evaluations. Finally, for a better performance validation of the proposed system on a real-time ADAS platform, a pragmatic approach of qualitative analysis has been conducted through streamlining high-end vision-based tasks such as object detection, localization, and mapping, and auto-parking on undistorted frames.
