Application of Naturalistic Truck Driving Data to Analyze and Improve Car Following Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research effort aims to compare car-following models when the models are calibrated to individual drivers with the naturalistic data. The models used are the GHR, Gipps, Intelligent Driver, Velocity Difference, Wiedemann, and the Fritzsche model. This research effort also analyzes the Wiedemann car-following model using car-following periods that occur at different speeds. The Wiedemann car-following model uses thresholds to define the different regimes in car following. Some of these thresholds use a speed parameter, but others rely solely upon the difference in speed between the subject vehicle and the lead vehicle. This research effort also reconstructs the Wiedemann car-following model for truck driver behavior using the Naturalistic Truck Driving Study’s (NTDS) conducted by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. This Naturalistic data was collected by equipping 9 trucks with various sensors and a data acquisition system. This research effort also combines the Wiedemann car-following model with the GHR car-following model for trucks using The Naturalistic Truck Driving Study’s (NTDS) data.

Driver Car-following Behavior Simulation using Fuzzy Rule-based Neural Network
This paper proposes a rule-based car-following model to simulate the driver decision process and model the associated vehicle longitudinal action in the car-following regime. In order to analyze individual driver characteristics and extract driving behavior rules, a fuzzy rule based neural network is constructed with the objective of presenting driver action rules under the associated traffic s...

but does require sufficient real traffic and action data to capture the underlying relationship between states and actions. Therefore, ANN models estimate actions on the basis of the real state–action mapping of natural behavior.

Driving behavior in traffic has been modeled quite successfully in simulation software using predefined car-following models rules. However, because most car-following models assume that vehicles could keep a safety distance away to avoid crash related conflicts; they are not capable to capture naturalistic driving behavior during safety-critical events. Also, vehicle detailed lateral maneuveri...
