Modeling Driver Behavior During Merge Maneuvers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methodologies for modeling ramp driver acceleration-deceleration and gap acceptance behavior during freeway merge maneuvers are presented. This study serves an important purpose by pointing to the limitations of current freeway merge models which treat the ramp driver acceleration-deceleration and gap acceptance behavior as deterministic phenomena. In addition, the interdependence of freeway merge behavior and surrounding traffic conditions has been proven to be significant indicating that one should not ignore the linkage of driver behavior and traffic dynamics. Successful calibration of methodologies for modeling freeway merge driver behavior makes this study a valuable asset for further applications.

Lane Change Trajectory Model Considering the Driver Effects Based on MANFIS
The lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. It is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. Therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (MANFIS) are proposed for this behavior. These models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a Dri...
متن کاملStochastic Mixture Modeling of Driving Behavior During Car Following
This paper presents a stochastic driver behavior modeling framework which takes into account both individual and general driving characteristics as one aggregate model. Patterns of individual driving styles are modeled using a Dirichlet process mixture model, as a non-parametric Bayesian approach which automatically selects the optimal number of model components to fit sparse observations of ea...
متن کاملA Driver Behavior Recognition Method Based on a Driver Model Framework
A method for detecting drivers’ intentions is essential to facilitate operating mode transitions between driver and driver assistance systems. We propose a driver behavior recognition method using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to characterize and detect driving maneuvers and place it in the framework of a cognitive model of human behavior. HMM-based steering behavior models for emergency and norm...
متن کاملCollision avoidance analysis for lane changing and merging
One of the riskiest maneuvers that a driver has to perform in a conventional highway system is to merge into the traffic and/or to perform a lane changing maneuver. Lane changing/merging collisions are responsible for one-tenth of all crash-caused traffic delays often resulting in congestion. Traffic delays and congestion, in general, increase travel time and have a negative economic impact. In...
متن کاملDynamics of Driver's Gaze: Explorations in Behavior Modeling & Maneuver Prediction
The study and modeling of driver’s gaze dynamics is important because, if and how the driver is monitoring the driving environment is vital for driver assistance in manual mode, for take-over requests in highly automated mode and for semantic perception of the surround in fully autonomous mode. We developed a machine vision based framework to classify driver’s gaze into context rich zones of in...
