Determining Car Driver Interaction Intent through Analysis of Behavior Patterns

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present preliminary results obtained by analysis of the behavior patterns of various driver subjects, in the context of an intelligent assistive driving system. We determined the parameters which are involved in determining the car driver's interaction intent, and extracted features of interest from various measured parameters of the driver, car, and the environment. We discuss how threshold values can be obtained for the extracted features that can be part of rules to decide on specific interaction intents. The results obtained in this paper will be incorporated in a knowledge base to define the rules of an rule-based expert system that will predict in realtime the driver's interaction intent, in order to enhance the safe driving experience.

Optimization of an Autonomous Car Controller Using a Self-Adaptive Evolutionary Strategy

“…Because of its realistic 3D simulation, it has been used for research on intelligent vehicles, robotics and games. For example, the simulator has been used in laboratory-level experiments with human drivers monitoring their brain/body signals [2][3], behavioural patterns [4] and 3D postures [5]. The simulator has been used for intelligent transportation research: the coordination of intelligent vehicles [6], simulated traffic scenarios [7] and digital human driver modelling [8].…”

Affective Computing and Augmented Reality for Car Driving Simulators

“…There have been car driving simulator-related approaches for rule-based systems that predicts in real-time the driver's intent [15] or for driver vigilance monitoring [16][17] applied to enhance safe driving experience. Moeslund et al [18] propose Arthur, an AR meeting system that permits multiple users wearing HMDs at a round table, to interact with objects specific to architecture and an urban planning domain.…”

The challenge of designing intelligent support behavior : emulation as a tool for developing cognitive systems

“…. While it is stated that all three sources of information should be taken into account in order to predict the future actions of the vehicle and to provide relevant support (Toma & Datcu, 2012;Tran et al, 2011), it can be observed that overt -and therefore observable -driver behavior has gained increased interest to serve as an additional cue for inferring the intentions of the driver to initiate specific manoeuvres. One reason for this trend is that it is believed that prediction improves when measures of driver behavior are included .…”
