Automatic Parking Controller with a Twin Artificial Neural Network Architecture

Algorithm 1

Predictive collision-avoidance algorithm based on twin ANN parking agent.
Input: // Input to the Clone agent for every decision step of the Main agent
 = {,,}; // Input Pose of the Virtual vehicle=Current pose of the main vehicle
; // Input Action of the clone agent=Output of the main agent’s action
 Parking Environment & obstacles ; // Parking slot length and neighboring obstacles
Output: Adjusted Action to the main vehicle ;
Parameters ; // # of looking forward steps (), adjustment parameters for desired actions ()
(1)Procedure forecasting step forward poses and actions for the virtual vehicle
 // Predicting Pose at j forward steps
 // Simulating j step forward actions
(2)for j = 1 to do
(3)  Calculate j step forward state of the virtual vehicle ;
(4)  Calculate j step forward actions of the virtual vehicle ;
  // Checking collision occurrence and adjustment of actions if collision detected
(5)  if Collision Case ①:
(6)   adjust steering angle ;
(7)   break for-loop
(8)  else if Collision Case ②:
(9)   adjust steering angle ;
(10)   break for-loop
(11)   else if Collision Case ③:
(12)    adjust desired velocity ;
(13)    break for-loop
(14)   else // If no collision is predicted, then do not adjust inputs
(15)    {, };
(16)   end if
