Description
Summary:This paper proposes a new strategy for a collision avoidance system leveraging time-to-collision (TTC) metrics for handling cut-in scenarios, which are particularly challenging for autonomous vehicles (AVs). By integrating deep learning with TTC calculations, the system predicts potential collisions and determines appropriate evasive actions compared to traditional TTC-based approaches. The methodology is validated through extensive simulations, demonstrating a significant improvement in collision avoidance performance compared to traditional TTC-based approaches. By integrating deep learning models with TTC calculations, the system predicts potential collisions and determines appropriate evasive actions. The use of the Gaussian model to contributes to time-to-collision (TTC) analysis by providing a probabilistic framework to quantify collision risk under uncertainty. It calculates the likelihood that TTC will fall below a critical threshold (TTC_crit), indicating a potential collision. By modeling input variations—such as sensor inaccuracies, fluctuating vehicle velocity, and unpredictable driving behavior—as a Gaussian distribution, the system can handle real-world uncertainties more effectively. This enables continuous, real-time risk prediction, allowing for dynamic and adaptive collision avoidance decisions. The Gaussian approach enhances the robustness of TTC-based systems by improving their ability to predict and prevent collisions in uncertain driving conditions.
