Autonomy evaluation for intelligent vehicle based on multi-attribute decision making

摘要

An integrated autonomy evaluation method of intelligent vehicles based on multi-attribute decision making (MADM) is proposed. A hierarchical model with four dimensions is established, which covers vehicle's physical properties, sensor's function attributes, system's environment cognizing abilities and autonomous decision-making and mission executing abilities. MADM method is devised to calculate the weights of index in different layers, and eventual integrated autonomy result is received. An instance of autonomy evaluation is validated by couple of unmanned ground vehicles from our laboratory. The results indicate that the evaluation method is feasible and effective.
