tailieunhanh - The 2009 Simulated Car Racing Championship

The PDC control unit performs a system test after the ignition has been turned on. The parking aid is ready for operation on successful completion of the system test. The parking aid is activated automatically by engaging reverse gear. A delay of approximately 1 second is programmed on both automatic and manual transmission vehicles. The purpose of the delay in activating the PDC when engaging reverse gear on vehicles with an automatic transmission is to prevent unintentional activation of the PDC when passing through the R-position when changing the drive stage. The delay on manual transmission. | IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI IN GAMES VOL. 2 NO. 2 JUNE 2010 131 The 2009 Simulated Car Racing Championship Daniele Loiacono Pier Luca Lanzi Julian Togelius Enrique Onieva David A. Pelta Martin V. Butz Thies D. Lonneker Luigi Cardamone Diego Perez Yago Sáez Mike Preuss and Jan Quadflieg Abstract In this paper we overview the 2009 Simulated Car Racing Championship an event comprising three competitions held in association with the 2009 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation CEC the 2009 ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference GECCO and the 2009 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games CIG . First we describe the competition regulations and the software framework. Then the five best teams describe the methods of computational intelligence they used to develop their drivers and the lessons they learned from the participation in the championship. The organizers provide short summaries of the other competitors. Finally we summarize the championship results followed by a discussion about what the organizers learned about 1 the development of high-performing car racing controllers and 2 the organization of scientific competitions.
