1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm in the path-tracking controller of an unmanned vehicle to autonomously learn the path-tracking capability of the vehicle by interacting with the CARLA environment. To solve the problem of the high estimation of the Q-value of the DDPG algorithm and slow training speed, the controller adopts the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm of the double critic network (DCN-DDPG), obtains the trained model through offline learning, and sends control commands to the unmanned vehicle to make the vehicle drive according to the determined route. This method aimed to address the problem of unmanned-vehicle path tracking. This paper proposes a Markov decision process model, including the design of state, action-and-reward value functions, and trained the control strategy in the CARLA simulator Town04 urban scene. The tracking task was completed under various working conditions, and its tracking effect was compared with the original DDPG algorithm, model predictive control (MPC), and pure pursuit. It was verified that the designed control strategy has good environmental adaptability, speed adaptability, and tracking performance.
