Attentional processes are necessary for any complex activity, such as driving. When a driver's attention is not optimal, driving errors can arise. The aim of this study is to highlight the involvement of attentional problems and their weight in accident production, using data from in-depth accident analyses. Three attentional disturbances are distinguished according to the task that competes wi...

The major human errors that have proven to be key factors in 80 to 90% of all traffic accidents include “distraction,” taking one’s eyes off the road while driving; “inattentiveness,” switching one’s consciousness from driving to other things; and “false perception” causing recognition mistakes in traffic due to visual illusions.

Driving in a human-like manner is important for an autonomous vehicle to be smart and predictable traffic participant. To achieve this goal, parameters of the motion planning module should carefully tuned, which needs great effort expert knowledge. In study, method learning cost planner from naturalistic driving data proposed. The achieved by encouraging selected trajectory approximate human un...
