Towards affordable on-track testing for autonomous vehicle — A Kriging-based statistical approach

摘要

This paper discusses the use of Kriging model in Automated Vehicle evaluation. We explore how a Kriging model can help reduce the number of experiments or simulations in the Accelerated Evaluation procedure. We also propose an adaptive sampling scheme for selecting samples to construct the Kriging model. Application examples in the lane change scenario are presented to illustrate the proposed methods.
