With the development of science and technology, breakthroughs have been made in the fields of intelligent algorithms, environmental perception, chip embedding, scene analysis, and multi-information fusion, which together prompted the wide attention of society, manufacturers and owners of autonomous vehicles. As one of the key issues in the research of autonomous vehicles, the research of vehicle lane change algorithm is of great significance to the safety of vehicle driving. This paper focuses on the conflict of interest between the lane-changing vehicle and the target lane vehicle in the fully autonomous driving environment, and proposes the method of coupling kinematics and game theory and reinforcement learning based optimization, so that when the vehicle is in the process of lane changing game, the lane-changing vehicle and the target lane vehicle can make decisions that are beneficial to the balance of interests of both sides.

Intelligent driving is an important research direction in the field of artificial intelligence.

As a crucial part of the intelligent transportation system, traffic signal control will realize the boundary control of the traffic area, it will also lead to delays and excessive fuel consumption when the vehicle is driving at the intersection. To tackle this challenge, this research provides an optimized control framework based on reinforcement learning method and speed guidance strategy for the connected vehicle network. Prior to entering an intersection, vehicles are focused on in a specific speed guidance area, and important factors like uniform speed, acceleration, deceleration, and parking are optimized. Conclusion, derived from deep reinforcement learning algorithm, the summation of the length of the vehicle’s queue in front of the signal light and the sum of the number of brakes are used as the reward function, and the vehicle information at the intersection is collected in real time through the road detector on the road network.

Compared with traditional welding, self-piercing riveting technology has unique advantages and is widely used in automobile lightweight technology. The riveting quality of self-piercing riveting is closely related to the safety and durability of automobiles. The detection of riveting quality has gradually become an important part of the automobile manufacturing process. The generation of surface cracks under self-piercing riveting will affect the riveting strength, which in turn affects the riveting quality. Therefore, the detection of riveting external quality is transformed into the detection of riveting surface cracks. The existing artificial vision-based riveting lower surface crack recognition technology is inefficient, subjective and cannot be applied on a large scale. Therefore, this paper will propose a local-overall strategy based on image processing and computer vision.

The use of lightweight materials is one of the important means to reduce the quality of the vehicle, which involves the connection of dissimilar materials, such as the combination of lightweight materials and traditional steel materials. The riveting quality of self-piercing riveting (SPR) technology will directly affect the safety and durability of automobiles. Therefore, in the initial joint development process, the quality of self-piercing riveting should be inspected and classified to meet safety standards. Based on this, this paper divides the self-piercing riveting quality into riveting appearance quality and riveting section quality. Aiming at the appearance quality of riveting, the generation of cracks on the lower surface of riveting will seriously affect the riveting strength. The existing method of identifying cracks on the lower surface of riveting based on artificial vision has strong subjectivity, low efficiency and cannot be applied on a large scale.

With economic development and the increasing number of vehicles in cities, urban transport systems have become an important issue in urban development. Efficient traffic signal control is a key part of achieving intelligent transport. Reinforcement learning methods show great potential in solving complex traffic signal control problems with multidimensional states and actions. Most of the existing work has applied reinforcement learning algorithms to intelligently control traffic signals. In this paper, we investigate the agent-based reinforcement learning approach for the intelligent control of ramp entrances and exits of urban arterial roads, and propose the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm for traffic signal control. We compare the method controlled by the improved PPO algorithm with the no-control method.

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) are one of most important joining approaches in lightweight vehicle design for Body-in-white (BIW) manufacturing. Numerical simulation of the riveting process could significantly boost design efficiency by reducing trial-and-error experiments. The traditional Finite Element Method (FEM) with element erosion is hard to capture the large plastic deformation and complex failure behaviors in the SPR process. The smoothed Particle Galerkin Method (SPG) is a genuine meshless method based on Galerkin's weak form, which uses a novel bond-based failure mechanism to keep the conservation of mass and momentum during the material failure process. This study utilizes a combined FEM and SPG approach to join Aluminum sheet 5754 using a full three-dimensional (3D) model in LS-DYNA/explicit.
