Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are one of the emerging technologies in the automotive domain that has the potential to alleviate the issues of accidents, traffic congestion, and pollutant emissions, leading to a safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation system. Machine learningbased methods are widely used in CAVs for crucial tasks like perception, motion planning, and motion control, where machine learning models in CAVs are solely trained using the local vehicle data, and the performance is not certain when exposed to new environments or unseen conditions. Federated learning (FL) is an effective solution for CAVs that enables a collaborative model development with multiple vehicles in a distributed learning framework. FL enables CAVs to learn from a wide range of driving environments and improve their overall performance while ensuring the privacy and security of local vehicle data. In this paper, we review the progress accomplished by researchers in applying FL to CAVs. A broader view of the various data modalities and algorithms that have been implemented on CAVs is provided. Specific applications of FL are reviewed in detail, and an analysis of the challenges and future scope of research are presented.
Decentralized learning and optimization is a central problem in control that encompasses several existing and emerging applications, such as federated learning. While there exists a vast literature on this topic and most methods centered around the celebrated average-consensus paradigm, less attention has been devoted to scenarios where the communication between the agents may be imperfect. To this end, this paper presents three different algorithms of Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL) in the presence of imperfect information sharing modeled as noisy communication channels. The first algorithm, Federated Noisy Decentralized Learning (FedNDL1), comes from the literature, where the noise is added to their parameters to simulate the scenario of the presence of noisy communication channels. This algorithm shares parameters to form a consensus with the clients based on a communication graph topology through a noisy communication channel. The proposed second algorithm ( FedNDL2) is similar to the first algorithm but with added noise to the parameters, and it performs the gossip averaging before the gradient optimization. The proposed third algorithm (FedNDL3), on the other hand, shares the gradients through noisy communication channels instead of the parameters. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that under imperfect information sharing, the third scheme that mixes gradients is more robust in the presence of a noisy channel compared with the algorithms from the literature that mix the parameters.
