Dynamic Evaluation of Learning Internalization Capability in Unmanned Ground Vehicles via Time Series Analysis
Aiming to address the core issue that the current intelligence evaluation for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) overly rely on static performance metrics and lack dynamic quantitative characterization of learning internalization capability (LIC), this study proposes a dynamic evaluation framework based on time series analysis. The framework begins by constructing a multidimensional test scenario parameter system and collecting externally observable performance sequence data. It then introduces a sliding window-based slope-standard deviation collaborative analysis technique to achieve unsupervised division of learning phases, from which five core evaluation metrics are extracted to comprehensively quantify the multidimensional dynamic characteristics of LIC in terms of efficiency, stability, and overall effectiveness. Simulation experiments were carried out using UGVs equipped with three types of path-planning algorithms in low-, medium-, and high-difficulty scenarios. Results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively distinguish multi-dimensional differences in LIC among different UGVs, exhibiting strong discriminative power and interpretability. This study provides a standardized evaluation tool for UGV intelligent selection, algorithm iteration optimization, and training strategy design, and offering significant reference value for the evaluation of the learnability of autonomous driving systems.
