A world initiative was set in motion for decreasing the amount of traffic accidents. Autonomous driving is a field which contributes to the initiative. Following report examines exploration/exploitationtrade-off in reinforcement learning applied to decision making in autonomous driving. The approach consisted of modelling the problemas a Markov Decision Process which was solved with the Q-learning. Decision making utilized exploration greed approach. Scenarios consisted of different kinds of intersections, and was built using SUMO. The ego vehicle was controlled using TraCI. Goal was to discuss thetrade-off from two perspectives - time and safety, measured in numberof collision among other things - in the domain of autonomous driving. Furthermore, exploration prompted ego vehicle to pass the scenarios in less time. This lead to increased collisions, and thus decreased safety. In contrast, exploitation preferred deacceleration and stopping which resulted in increased safety but increased the passage time and traffic. Conclusion was to exploit previous experiences when applying reinforcement learning to decision making in autonomous driving because safety is the highest priority when it comes to autonomous driving and the world initiative. ; Ett globalt initiativ startades för att reducera antalet trafikolyckor innan år 2030. Autonoma fordon är ett forskningsområde som bidrar till det globala initiativet. I denna rapport undersöks avvägningen mellan utforskning och utnyttjande inom förstärkningsinlärande för beslutsfattande processen inom autonoma fordon. Tillvägagångssättet bestod av att modellera problemet som Markov Beslutsprocess som löstes med hjälp av Q-learning. Beslutsfattande processen tillvaratog en utnyttjande inställning. Scenario bestod av olika typer av korsningar, och de programmerades med hjälp av SUMO. Autonoma fordonet kontrollerades med hjälp av TraCI. Målet var att diskutera avvägningen från två perspektiv tid och säkerhet, mät i antalet kollisioner bl.a inom forskningsområdet autonoma fordon. ...
