Vehicle crash simulation models for reinforcement learning driven crash-detection algorithm calibration by Shahabaz Afraj, Ondřej Vaculín, Dennis Böhmländer, Luděk Hynčík

“…Hence, a conceptual methodology is illustrated in this paper for developing an RL-compatible model that can be trained using the results of crash simulations and crash tests. As the calibration of the crash-detection algorithm is fundamentally dependent upon the crash pulses, the scope of the expected output is limited to advancing the ability to estimate crash pulses. …”
