Road Design and Traffic Detection Methods for Autonomous Driving Scenarios

Abstract

With the rapid promotion of autonomous driving technology, it is extremely important to scientifically anticipate the related technologies and analyze their possible impact on urban road systems. The accuracy of detection and localization of traffic elements of autonomous driving is closely related to the ability of autonomous driving devices to make control decisions and the safety of autonomous driving. The study designs a new high-speed road driving scheme based on autonomous driving by analyzing the challenges related to urban traffic that may be brought about by unmanned driving. On the basis of the faster R-CNN algorithm, the context information around the target is introduced to locate and detect small-scale traffic signs. A new pedestrian detection model is designed, which is based on the feature pyramid network and introduces the SE module to highlight the features of the visible part of the pedestrian and reduce the missed detection rate caused by inter-class occlusion. The improved traffic sign detection framework improves the detection accuracy by 18.91% compared to the original faster R-CNN, while the enhanced pedestrian inspection method improves the detection accuracy by 14.00%. For both traffic sign detection and pedestrian detection accuracy and speed are improved compared to the original method.
