چکیده

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that the major cause of vehicle crashes in the United States has been driver inattention and distraction. Among various types of distraction, cell-phone dialing and text messaging have been shown to significantly degrade driving performance. Existing studies have mainly focused on driver distraction scenarios with one or a few vehicles, and have generally not looked at large-scale simulation of many vehicles. In contrast, currently available software for simulating traffic with many vehicles (e.g., CORSIM and VISSIM) has generally not considered the effects of driver distraction on driver/vehicle behavior. To overcome these limitations, we propose a computational modeling framework that integrates a cognitive model of distraction (i.e., Distract-R) and an agent-based traffic (micro-) simulation model (i.e., VISSIM). The framework aims to enable transportation modelers to easily set up virtual experiments and evaluate the impact of distracted drivers on large-scale networks. We validate the framework using two existing experimental data sets. Preliminary results indicate that the framework can account for statistically significant changes in speed fluctuation and headway distance in the presence of a significant number of

MANFIS Based Modeling and Prediction of the Driver-Vehicle Unit Behavior in Overtaking Scenarios

Overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. In this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. These models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (MANFIS). They are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the fut...

Developing a Model of Heterogeneity in Driver’s Behavior

Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) is a well-known microscopic model of traffic flow within the traffic engineering societies. While it is a powerful technique for modeling traffic flows, the Intelligent Driver Model lacks the potential of accommodating the notion of drivers’ heterogeneous behavior whenever they are on roads. Concerning the above mentioned, this paper takes the lane to recognize th...

Computational Simulation of Visual Distraction Effects on Car Drivers’ Situation Awareness

This paper presents a computational modeling approach for negative effects simulation of visual distraction while driving a car. In order to investigate these effects, an experiment was firstly implemented on a driving simulator. Twenty participants were invited to perform a car following task in different driving conditions (12 driving scenarios), with or without a secondary task of visual dis...

Incorporation of the Driver’s Personality Profile in an Agent Model

Urban traffic flow is a complex system. Behavior of an individual driver can have butterfly effect which can become root cause of an emergent phenomenon such as congestion or accident. Interaction of drivers with each other and the surrounding environment forms the dynamics of traffic flow. Hence global effects of traffic flow depend upon the behavior of each individual driver. Due to several a...

Using the Reaction Delay as the Driver Effects in the Development of Car-Following Models

Car-following models, as the most popular microscopic traffic flow modeling, is increasingly being used by transportation experts to evaluate new Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. A number of factors including individual differences of age, gender, and risk-taking behavior, have been found to influence car-following behavior. This paper presents a novel idea to calculate ...
