Intersection decision making for autonomous vehicles based on improved PPO algorithm by Dong Guo, Shoulin He, Shouwen Ji

“…First, the Self‐Attention Mechanism (SAM) is introduced into the algorithmic framework to quickly identify the surrounding vehicles with a greater impact on the ego vehicle from different perspectives, accelerating data processing and improving decision quality. Second, an invalid action masking mechanism is adopted to reduce the action space, ensuring actions are only selected from feasible sets, thereby enhancing decision efficiency. …”

Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network–Based Unscented Kalman Filter for Vehicle Collision Estimate Warning System and Ensuring Stable Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication by Yonas Kebede Lema, Satyasis Mishra, Demissie J. Gelmecha

“…These alerts can warn the driver of impending collisions with distant objects, enabling them to take appropriate evasive action. By implementing this integrated LLWNN-UKF approach leveraging sensor data and V2X communication, we aim to reduce the number of collisions caused by reckless driving, which will lead to a decrease in traffic-related fatalities and injuries.…”
