AI Model for Self Driving in a Simulated

Environment
Project Title:
Development of an AI Model for Autonomous Driving Using Deep Learning and Simulation

Introduction:
The advancement of autonomous driving technology has the potential to revolutionize
transportation by improving safety and efficiency. This project aims to develop a simplified
AI model capable of controlling a self-driving car in a simulated environment. The model
will focus on key aspects of autonomous driving, such as object detection, lane recognition,
and decision-making. By leveraging deep learning and reinforcement learning techniques,
the model will simulate real-world driving conditions without the need for hardware
integration.

Objectives:
1. Develop an AI Model capable of processing images from a simulated environment to
detect lanes, traffic signs, and obstacles.
2. Implement Object Detection using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for identifying
vehicles, pedestrians, and other road objects.
3. Use Reinforcement Learning to enable decision-making for autonomous control,
including steering, acceleration, and braking.
4. Evaluate the Model in a simulated driving environment to ensure it can navigate safely
and efficiently.

Methodology:
1. Deep Learning for Object Detection:
- Use a CNN-based approach (e.g., YOLO or SSD) to detect road objects, such as vehicles,
pedestrians, and traffic signals. This will allow the AI to recognize key elements in its
surroundings.

2. Lane Detection with Semantic Segmentation:


- Apply semantic segmentation techniques to identify lanes and road boundaries. This will
help guide the car within its driving lane and maintain safe navigation.

3. Reinforcement Learning for Decision Making:


- Implement reinforcement learning (RL) techniques, such as Deep Q-Learning, to teach
the AI how to make driving decisions. The RL model will learn from the simulated
environment by trial and error to improve performance.

4. Simulated Environment:
- Use the CARLA simulator to test the AI model in realistic driving conditions. The
simulator provides a safe environment to evaluate the AI’s behavior in various scenarios,
including different traffic conditions, weather, and road types.

5. Data Handling and Training:


- Use public datasets like KITTI or data generated from the simulation for training the
model. Data augmentation techniques will be applied to improve generalization.

6. Evaluation:
- The model will be evaluated based on its accuracy in object detection, lane recognition,
and safe navigation through the simulated environment. Key performance indicators will
include collision rates, successful lane-keeping, and traffic rule adherence.

Tools and Technologies:


• Deep Learning Frameworks: TensorFlow or PyTorch for building neural networks.
• Reinforcement Learning Algorithms: Deep Q-Learning for decision-making.
• Computer Vision Techniques: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for object detection,
semantic segmentation for lane detection.
• Simulated Environment: CARLA simulator for testing the AI model in various driving
scenarios.
• Programming Languages: Python for model development and integration.
• Data: KITTI dataset for training, CARLA for simulation-generated data.

Expected Outcome:
By the end of the project, an AI model capable of performing autonomous driving tasks in a
simulated environment will be developed. The AI will be able to detect and avoid obstacles,
recognize lanes and traffic signals, and make driving decisions that ensure safe navigation.
The performance will be validated through simulations without the need for physical
vehicle hardware.

Timeline:
1. Research and Data Collection: 1 month
2. Model Development (Object Detection and Lane Recognition): 2 months
3. Reinforcement Learning Implementation: 1 month
4. Integration and Testing in Simulation: 1 month
5. Final Evaluation and Report: 1 month
Conclusion:
This project aims to create an efficient and simplified AI model for autonomous driving,
focusing on simulation-based testing. By combining computer vision and reinforcement
learning, the project will explore the core technologies of self-driving cars and demonstrate
their application in a controlled environment.
