However, the safety of lane-changing decisions in real-world driving environments still faces many challenges, especially the non-stationarity and uncertainty factors in real-world scenarios with continuously changing real-time conditions. These factors may lead to dangerous driving behaviors by autonomous vehicles, or even fatal accidents. Existing safe lane-changing models suffer from fragmented methodologies and do not strictly adhere to functional safety standards in their safety constraint design.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention; that is, the described specific embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of them. The components of the specific embodiments of the invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations, and the invention may also have other embodiments.
[0075] Therefore, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected specific embodiments of the invention. All other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on these specific embodiments without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0076] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following specific embodiments are provided, along with accompanying drawings. Figure 1 Detailed explanation is as follows:
[0077] Example 1:
[0078] An autonomous driving lane-changing decision-making method integrating a safety integrity framework and reinforcement learning includes the following steps:
[0079] S1. Construct a quantitative indicator framework for security integrity, including exposure, severity, and controllability;
[0080] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of step S1 includes the following steps:
[0081] S1.1. Based on the Responsibility Sensitive Safety Model (RSS), the minimum safe distance is introduced to calculate exposure. Minimum safe distance... Defined as:
[0082]
[0083] in, They represent the vehicle itself and the vehicle in front of it respectively. The speed of time Indicates the reaction time of the driver or autonomous driving system. These represent the maximum deceleration of the vehicle and the vehicle in front, respectively.
[0084] Then the exposure level is obtained. The calculation formula is:
[0085]
[0086] in, Indicates the longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front. The minimum safe distance calculated for RSS;
[0087] Furthermore, exposures are used to measure the likelihood of a potential hazardous event occurring. A minimum safe distance is introduced based on the Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) model to achieve a real-time exposure metric. At that time, exposure This indicates that the vehicle is in a safe condition; when At that time, exposure The higher the value, the closer the vehicle is to danger and the higher the degree of exposure.
[0088] S1.2. Using collision kinetic energy loss as a severity index, the total amount of mechanical energy converted into structural deformation and heat during the collision process is characterized, and the results at time points are calculated for vehicles 1 and 2.

[0092] Then the severity is obtained. The calculation formula is:
[0093] ;
[0094] Furthermore, severity measures the degree of personal injury by the level of energy loss once a potentially hazardous event occurs. Using collision kinetic energy loss as a severity indicator approximates the collision as a perfectly inelastic process, where kinetic energy loss reaches its maximum. The higher the value, the more energy the vehicle needs to dissipate, and the stronger the impact on potential occupants, resulting in a higher degree of severity.
[0095] S1.3. The Remaining Collision Distance (SRCD) is introduced as a controllability index, measuring the remaining operable distance to the potential collision point while the vehicle maintains its current motion. Under the extreme braking assumption, Remaining collision distance at time Represented as:
[0096]
[0097] in, This indicates the longitudinal relative distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front. Indicates the current speed of the vehicle. This represents the maximum achievable deceleration of the vehicle.
[0098] Then the controllability index is obtained. Defined as:
[0099] .
[0100] Furthermore, controllability is used to assess the ability of a driver or autonomous driving system to effectively intervene in hazardous scenarios to avoid harm. When When the vehicle has sufficient space to avoid a collision even under maximum braking, it has a certain degree of controllability; while when When the maximum braking force is applied, it indicates that a collision cannot be avoided and the system is deemed uncontrollable.

[0122] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of step S3 includes the following steps:
[0123] S3.1. Defining Strategies in Reinforcement Learning The core objective, or objective function, is to maximize the expected cumulative reward, which is expressed as:
[0124]
[0125] in, , This refers to the reward function, i.e., the defined total reward function; As expected, The performance objective function is... The optimal policy parameters are given, and T is the maximum time step. To accumulate rewards, For a moment The environmental conditions, For a moment The action chosen by the agent;
[0126] S3.2. The PPO algorithm obtains the objective function by cutting the objective function in step S3.1. for:
[0127]
[0128] in, , For strategy ratio, To reward the advantage function, The shear coefficient is... For the expectation of the empirical sample, It is the shearing function;
[0129] Furthermore, the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm can effectively suppress excessive policy updates by pruning the objective function, thus ensuring training stability.
[0130] S3.3. The total reward function obtained in step S2 is designed and integrated into the objective function of the PPO algorithm. In the simulation environment, the PPO algorithm interacts with the environment through state perception, action execution, and receives the immediate reward calculated by the total reward function. Subsequently, using this interaction data, the PPO algorithm optimizes the parameters of the policy network and the value network to maximize the long-term cumulative reward and finally obtain the autonomous driving lane-changing model.

[0132] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of step S4 includes the following steps:
[0133] S4.1. Construct safety metrics including collision rate and collision time. ;
[0134]
[0135] ;
[0136] Furthermore, the Collision Rate (CR) is defined as the proportion of rounds in which at least one collision occurs across all test rounds. A lower CR value indicates a higher level of safety for the algorithm's strategy. Time to Collision (TCT) represents the time required for the vehicle to collide with an obstacle ahead, assuming the vehicle maintains its current speed and direction. This indicates that the vehicle does not have sufficient safety margin. This indicates that the vehicle has a more ample safety margin.

[0144] Task completion efficiency is defined as the average time required for an agent to complete one round or reach the target state.
[0145] Furthermore, the method in this embodiment conforms to the safety constraint design method of the ISO 26262 standard. The safety integrity indicators—exposure, severity, and controllability—from the standard are formally constructed into a set of explicit and quantifiable safety constraints, which are then integrated into the reinforcement learning lane-changing decision model of the autonomous vehicle. By enforcing these constraints in complex traffic environments, this invention can systematically improve the driving efficiency of autonomous vehicles while ensuring functional safety.
