Autonomous vehicles hold promise for increased vehicle and traffic safety, there are several developments in the field where one example is an avoidance maneuver. There it dangerous to be opposing lane, but safe drive original lane again after obstacle. To capture this basic observation, a lane-deviation penalty (LDP) objective function devised. Based on function, formulation developed utilizin...

In this article, a mathematical model was developed to influence the intensity of steering wheel turn by driver on vehicle's stability. Comparison with experiment results made it possible establish their adequacy. The effect three conditional drivers examined. When performing 'J-turn' maneuver, comparing indices 1st, 2nd and 3rd drivers, proximity requirements standard established. It found tha...

One of the most important and fundamental topics in autonomous navigated vehicle research is lane change maneuver for obstacle avoidance or overtaking maneuver. In literature, path car-like vehicles has widely been generated with geometrically smooth segments by solving boundary conditions under given constraints. This paper proposes a new method continuous curvature generation issue while clot...

1 The lane change process is a tactical process. However, the transitions among important tactical 2 nodes are largely ignored in the existing microscopic lane change models. Prior to the lane 3 change maneuver, the merging vehicles need to reach the feasible lane change location (the 4 desired merge position), which is right after the target gap selection. This study explores how the 5 merging...

Driving behavior models for lane-changing and acceleration form an integral component of microscopic traffic simulators and determine its value in evaluation of different traffic management strategies. The state-of-art model for lane changing adopts a two-level framework: the first level involves a latent or unobserved choice of a target lane; the second level models the acceptance of adjacent ...

Maneuvers of a nonholonomic vehicle in a structured dynamic environment are considered. The paper focuses on motion generation and control methods to autonomously perform lane following/changing and parallel parking maneuvers. Lane following/changing involves the tracking of a nominal trajectory in the traac lane, and the generation and tracking of local lane-changing trajectories, for instance...

PURPOSE The hypothesis that drivers with homonymous hemianopia (HH) would take a lane position that increased the safety margin on their blind side was tested with a driving simulator. METHODS Twelve participants with HH (six right HH and six left; nine men; mean age, 50 years; range 31-72), and 12 matched current drivers with normal vision (NV) each completed approximately 120 minutes of sim...
