On April 16, 2024, at the opening ceremony of the 4th Central Enterprise Yixing Innovation and Creativity Competition - New Energy Vehicle Track (Wuhan Stop) hosted by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Professor Lin Yuan's team from the school won the second prize in the 2024 China ICV Algorithms Challenge. The competition was organized by the China Society of Automotive Engineers and Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., with Dongfeng Yuexiang Technology Co., Ltd. and National Automobile (Beijing) Smart Connected Vehicle Research Institute Co., Ltd. as co-organizers.

Professor Lin Yuan Receiving the Award

Professor Lin Yuan's intelligent vehicle team focuses on reinforcement learning and its applications in energy-saving and intelligent driving. For the lane change decision-making problem in this competition, the team utilized reinforcement learning to train lane change decisions in traffic flow simulation software, and then conducted lateral and longitudinal motion planning to obtain lane change trajectories. The model possesses a certain level of safety, efficiency, and comfort, and can quickly make reasonable decisions in multi-vehicle scenarios, ultimately standing out in the competition and won the second prize.

Team Award Certificate

China ICV Algorithms Challenge focuses on the core technologies of autonomous driving, including perception, localization, planning and control, attracting the participation of over 30 universities and enterprises, including Tongji University, Hunan University, Wuhan University, and others. This competition has built an important bridge for cooperation between universities and enterprises, promoted exchanges between the academic and industrial communities, driven the development of autonomous driving technology, and provided strong support for the widespread application of autonomous driving technology.
