The complexity of situations occurring at intersections is demanding on the cognitive abilities of drivers. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are intended to assist particularly in those situations. However, for adequate system reaction strategies it is essential to develop situation assessment. Especially the driver's intention has to be estimated. So, the criticality can be inferred and efficient intervention strategies can take action. In this paper, we present a prediction framework based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and analyze its performance using a large database of real driving data. Our focus is on the variation of the model parameters and the choice of the dataset for learning. The direction of travel while approaching a 4-way intersection is to be estimated. A solid prediction is accomplished with high prediction rates above 90% and mean prediction times up to 7 seconds before entering the intersection area.

Learning from human driver's strategies for solving complex and potentially dangerous situations including interaction with other road users has the potential to improve decision-making methods for automated vehicles. In this paper, we focus on simple unsignalized intersections and roundabouts in presence of another vehicle. We propose a human-like decision-making algorithm for these scenarios built up from human drivers recordings. The algorithm includes a risk assessment to avoid collisions in the intersection area. Three road topologies with different interaction scenarios were presented to human participants on a previously developed simulation tool. The same scenarios have been used to validate our decision-making process. The algorithm showed promising results with no collisions in all setups and the ability to successfully determine to go before or after another vehicle.
