The Entropy-Cost Function Evaluation Method for Unmanned Ground Vehicles

Abstract EN

To improve the technology of unmanned ground vehicles, it is necessary to conduct a proper evaluation on various technologies.

Previous evaluation methods are mainly based on completion of the task; this may mislead most of teams of unmanned ground vehicles using a conservative strategy during the evaluation.

In this paper, a new evaluation method is proposed.

Based on typical working conditions including intersection, car-following, and obstacle-avoiding, the new evaluation indicator system is established, and the entropy-cost function method is applied to the comprehensive evaluation of unmanned ground vehicles.

As reported in a numerical example, the proposed evaluation method can get a quantitative result that authentically reflects the intelligent behavior level of unmanned ground vehicles.
