Multi-agent Interactive Traffic Model

Learning from human driving demonstration is an interesting approach to improve autonomous driving policy. Still, it has some challenges: 1. majority logged data is from normal traffic situations, not sufficient critical and diverse scenarios data; and 2. during training and validation, the other traffic actors do not react to the ego's car policy, or no actual closed-loop response.

Multi-agent Interactive Traffic Model

Our ADAS team in Siemens Digital Industries Software has been working on realistic multi-agent interactive traffic model. The parameters can be tuned to generate diversified realistic driving behaviour and styles. In addition, to improve imitation learning being more robust and adaptable, we develop a pipeline to automatically optimize the multi-agent traffic model for stress testing, then augment these data to enhance model training regarding to safety and comfort metrics.
