Abstract

A method for assisting maneuver planning for a transportation vehicle driving by automation or for a robot; wherein a state space of an environment of the transportation vehicle or the robot is discretely described by a Markov decision process; wherein optimal action values for discretized actions are determined by dynamic programming, based on discrete states in the state space; wherein a mapping with states in the state space as input values, and with action values for actions in the state space as output values, is learned by a reinforcement learning method; wherein a reinforcement learning agent is initialized based on the optimal action values determined by the dynamic programming; and wherein the learned mapping is provided for maneuver planning. Also disclosed is a device for assisting maneuver planning for a transportation vehicle driving by automation or for a robot.
