Longitudinal Driving Behavior under Adverse Conditions: A Close Look at Psycho-spacing Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adverse weather conditions have been shown to have a substantial impact on traffic flow operations following substantial adaptation effects in driving behavior. In quantifying these effects psycho-spacing models may be used. In this contribution it was examined to what extend adverse weather conditions influence the position of action points in the relative speed-spacing plane in these models, the relationship between speed of the lead vehicle and relative speed at the action points and acceleration as well as jumps in acceleration. In this regard a driving simulator experiment with a Repeated Measures design was performed in which fog was simulated in the experimental condition. Using a new data analysis technique followed from the results that substantial differences were present with regard to the position of action points. Furthermore a substantial influence of fog on the relationship between speed of the lead vehicle and relative speed at the action points was found. Finally, a substantial influence of this adverse weather condition on acceleration and jumps in acceleration was established. Furthermore, a large degree of driver heterogeneity was observed with regard to the position of action points as with regard to (jumps in) acceleration at the action points. It is recommended to develop a data driver stochastic car-following model based on psycho-spacing theory. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Internal and string stability analyses of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with communication delay and actuator lag under constant spacing policy
This paper studies the longitudinal control of a group of vehicles following a lead vehicle. A neighbor based upper level controller is proposed by considering communication delay and actuator lag. Constant spacing policy is used between successive vehicles. Two different approaches based on Lyapunov-Razumikhin and Lyapuniv-Krassovski theorems are presented to stability analysis...

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...
