The BATMobile [1] is one approach to the implementation of a system capable of driving autonomously in normal highway tra c. As with human drivers, the BATMobile would be a superior driver if it were able to make predictions about the actions of other drivers, e ectively giving it the ability to respond before such actions even occur. The ability to predict driver behavior would also be helpful...

Methodologies for modeling ramp driver acceleration-deceleration and gap acceptance behavior during freeway merge maneuvers are presented. This study serves an important purpose by pointing to the limitations of current freeway merge models which treat the ramp driver acceleration-deceleration and gap acceptance behavior as deterministic phenomena. In addition, the interdependence of freeway me...

Urban roads play an important role in daily life, and signal intersections, as nodes of urban roads, are the main place traffic conflict. During turns, there frequent conflicts between right-turning vehicles pedestrians at specific stages. This conflict will lead to acceleration, deceleration, parking delay vehicles, which affect efficiency entire intersection threaten personal safety crossing ...

A study of drivers aged 50-90 was carried out to assess which, if any, of a range of measures were useful in predicting on-road performance. The study had three phases. In Phase One almost 2000 drivers completed an extensive self-report questionnaire, the Aging Driver Questionnaire, or ADQ. In the ADQ they described their personal and driving history, their driving behaviour and their attitudes...

The proliferation of info-entertainment systems in nowadays vehicles has provided a really cheap and easy-to-deploy platform with the ability to gather information about vehicle under analysis. With purpose provide an architecture increase safety security automotive context, this paper we propose fully connected neural network considering position-based features aimed detect real-time: (i) driv...

Modern vehicles are designed to protect occupants in the event of a crash. However, passenger protection can be combined with collision avoidance. Statistics have shown that human error is the number one contributor to road accidents. Advanced driver behavior and monitoring systems have been developed by manufacturers in recent years and many have been proven to be effective systems in the prev...

The quantitative measurement of driver behavior has been central to much of the systematic research underlying highway safety issues during the past forty years. It has contributed to the way in which we design roads, vehicles, training programs, signs and markings, and intelligent transportation systems. Yet the methods we use to conduct driver behavior experiments may result in a disconnect w...
