Artificial Intelligence System for Automobile Braking Control

Abstract

An Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm based on neural networks is developed, which allows controlling the braking system of a car. For this, a simulation model is used that allows for testing the neural network (NN) algorithm. The input parameters to the neural network are the speed of the car and the proximity to the car that is ahead called the safety distance, while an output parameter is the information available to activate the Brake System. Other parameters used in the weighting of the error function associated with the RN are the driving mode, for example, driving fast or slow, or when driving fast, applying the brakes more frequently. In the first instance, the algorithm learns the driving mode, forward speed, braking, and proximity to the front vehicle. Then, the algorithm must be tested in unknown situations and the learning capacity must be verified.


Keywords: artificial intelligence, braking system, autonomous driving.


Resumen


Se desarrolla un algoritmo de Inteligencia Artificial (AI) basado en redes neuronales, que permite controlar el sistema de frenos de un auto. Para esto se utiliza un modelo de simulación que permite probar el algoritmo de red neuronal(RN), los parámetros de ingreso a la red neuronal son la velocidad del auto y proximidad al auto que va adelante denominada distancia de seguridad, como parámetro de salida se tiene la información para activar el Sistema de frenos. Otros parámetros utilizados en la ponderación de la función de error asociada a la red neuronal son el modo de manejo, por ejemplo, el hecho de manejar rápido o lento, o cuando se maneja rápido, aplicar los frenos con mayor frecuencia. En primera instancia el algoritmo aprende el modo de manejo, velocidad de avance, frenado, proximidad al vehículo delantero, posteriormente hay que probar el algoritmo en situaciones desconocidas y verificar la capacidad de aprendizaje.


Palabras Clave: inteligencia artificial, sistema de frenos, conducción autónoma.
