Researchers compare RL methods for testing autonomous vehicle requirements

A new study empirically evaluates reinforcement learning techniques for testing autonomous vehicles, specifically comparing single-objective RL (SORL) and multi-objective RL (MORL) in generating critical scenarios. The research indicates that while both methods can reveal requirement violations, MORL tends to produce a wider diversity of scenarios, whereas SORL may expose more severe violations. The choice between MORL and SORL depends on whether scenario diversity or the severity of violations is prioritized, with MORL being preferable for broader coverage. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into optimizing testing strategies for complex AI systems like autonomous vehicles.

    Reinforcement Learning for Testing Interdependent Requirements in Autonomous Vehicles: An Empirical Study

    arXiv:2502.15792v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) make driving decisions without humans, making dependability assurance critical. Scenario-based testing is widely used to evaluate AVs under diverse conditions, with reinforcement learning (RL) gen…
