Behavior Coverage in Autonomous Vehicle Simulation
Analysis
This paper addresses a critical aspect of autonomous vehicle development: ensuring safety and reliability through comprehensive testing. It focuses on behavior coverage analysis within a multi-agent simulation, which is crucial for validating autonomous vehicle systems in diverse and complex scenarios. The introduction of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) pedestrian agent to encourage 'interesting' and realistic tests is a notable contribution. The research's emphasis on identifying areas for improvement in the simulation framework and its implications for enhancing autonomous vehicle safety make it a valuable contribution to the field.
