Reinforcement Learning Based Ground Vehicle Control Techniques

A ground vehicle control system comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to detect a plurality of ground vehicle operating parameters, driver control inputs, and one or more driving environment parameters, wherein the one or more driving environment parameters includes at least one predicted driving environment parameter;
• and
• a predictive enhanced cruise controller including a reinforcement learning controller configured to;
• train the reinforcement learning controller based on a simulated ground vehicle environment, during a simulation mode;
• further train the reinforcement learning controller based on a ground vehicle environment, during an operating mode of a ground vehicle;
• and
• output an action based on a current state of the ground vehicle environment utilizing the reinforcement learning controller, during the operating mode of the ground vehicle.
