Road terrain recognition based on tire noise for autonomous vehicle.

ABSTRACT: Effective road terrain recognition is crucial for enhancing the driving safety, passability, and comfort of autonomous vehicles. This study addresses the challenges of accurately identifying diverse road surfaces using deep learning in complex environments. We introduce a novel end-to-end Tire Noise Recognition Residual Network (TNResNet) integrated with a time-frequency attention module, designed to capture and leverage time-frequency information from tire noise signals for road terrain classification. Our method was evaluated on five distinct road types: asphalt, cement, grass, mud, and sand. The performance of TNResNet was rigorously compared against traditional machine learning techniques, including Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Support Vector Machines, as well as advanced d
