Please cite this article in press as: C. Tran et a (2011), doi:10.1016/j.cviu.2011.09.008 Understanding driver behavior is an essential component in human-centric Intelligent Driver Assistance Systems. Specifically, driver foot behavior is an important factor in controlling the vehicle, though there have been very few research studies on analyzing foot behavior. While embedded pedal sensors may...

Driver behavior impacts traffic safety, fuel/energy consumption and gas emissions. Driver behavior profiling tries to understand and positively impact driver behavior. Usually driver behavior profiling tasks involve automated collection of driving data and application of computer models to generate a classification that characterizes the driver aggressiveness profile. Different sensors and clas...

Our work on modeling driver behavior in a cognitive architecture has benefited greatly from two types of integration: composition of independently developed theories and models into the framework of a cognitive architecture, and generalization of common elements of theories and models into higher-level constructs within the architecture. This chapter highlights three ways in which integration b...

Printed in the Netherlands Dedicated to my family i Preface I will always remember the moment in 2006 when I received a call from dean Xiao: do you like to take the chance to study in the Netherlands? Without second thought, I replied 'YES'! I did not yet know I had to get a qualified score of IELTS and an invitation from the Netherlands in three months. At that time, my English was so poor (ev...

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 ...

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...
