With the improvement of sensor accuracy, sensor data plays an increasingly important role in intelligent vehicle motion control. Good use of sensor data can improve the control of vehicles. However, data-based end-to-end control has the disadvantages of poorly interpreted control models and high time costs; model-based control methods often have difficulties designing high-fidelity vehicle controllers because of model errors and uncertainties in building vehicle dynamics models. In the face of high-speed steering conditions, vehicle control is difficult to ensure stability and safety. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid model and data-driven control method. Based on the vehicle state data and road information data provided by vehicle sensors, the method constructs a deep neural network based on LSTM and Attention, which is used as a compensator to solve the performance degradation of the LQR controller due to modeling errors.

Driver distraction detection is crucial to driving safety when autonomous vehicles are co-piloted. Recognizing drivers’ behaviors that are highly related with distraction from real-time video stream is widely acknowledged as an effective approach mainly due to its non-intrusiveness. In recently years, deep learning neural networks have been adopted to by-pass the procedure of designing features artificially, which used to be the major downside of computer-vision based approaches. However, the detection accuracy and generalization ability is still not satisfying since most deep learning models extracts only spatial information contained in images. This research develops a driver distraction model based on a two-stream, spatial and temporal, convolutional neural network (CNN).
