Description

---

Investigate the problem of event-triggered deep reinforcement learning with discrete action space and develop an ETDQN for autonomous driving, without training an explicit triggering condition. The implicit triggering condition and the control policy share neural network parameters.

How to run

---

• create an anaconda environment via: conda create -n etdqn pytorch=1.12.1 python=3.9.13
• activate the anaconda environment via: conda activate etdqn
• install the required packages via: pip install -r requirements.txt
• train ETDQN via: etdqn_train.py
• test ETDQN via: etdqn_test.py
