Unsupervised and Supervised Learning with the Random Forest Algorithm for Traffic Scenario Clustering and Classification
Friedrich Kruber, Jonas Wurst, Eduardo Sánchez Morales, Samarjit Chakraborty, Michael Botsch
The goal of this paper is to provide a method, which is able to find categories of traffic scenarios automatically. The architecture consists of three main components: A microscopic traffic simulation, a clustering technique and a classification technique for the operational phase. The developed simulation tool models each vehicle separately, while maintaining the dependencies between each other. The clustering approach consists of a modified unsupervised Random Forest algorithm to find a data adaptive similarity measure between all scenarios. As part of this, the path proximity, a novel technique to determine a similarity based on the Random Forest algorithm is presented. In the second part of the clustering, the similarities are used to define a set of clusters. In the third part, a Random Forest classifier is trained using the defined clusters for the operational phase. A thresholding technique is described to ensure a certain confidence level for the class assignment. The method is applied for highway scenarios. The results show that the proposed method is an excellent approach to automatically categorize traffic scenarios, which is particularly relevant for testing autonomous vehicle functionality.
