Modeling driver behavior in the dilemma zone based on stochastic model predictive control

Abstract

Driver behavior is considered one of the most important factors in the genesis of dilemma zones and the safety of driver-vehicle-environment systems. An accurate driver behavior model can improve the traffic signal control efficiency and decrease traffic accidents in signalized intersections. This paper uses a mathematical modeling method to study driver behavior in a dilemma zone based on stochastic model predictive control (SMPC), along with considering the dynamic characteristics of human cognition and execution, aiming to provide a feasible solution for modeling driver behavior more accurately and potentially improving the understanding of driver-vehicle-environment systems in dilemma zones. This paper explores the modeling framework of driver behavior, including the perception module, decision-making module, and operation module. The perception module is proposed to stimulate the ability to perceive uncertainty and select attention in the dilemma zone. An SMPC-based driver control modeling method is proposed to stimulate decision-making behavior in the dilemma zone. The operation module is proposed to stimulate the execution ability of the driver. Finally, CarSim, the well-known vehicle dynamics analysis software package, is used to verify the proposed models of this paper. The simulation results show that the SMPC-based driver behavior model can effectively and accurately reflect the vehicle motion and dynamics under driving in the dilemma zone.

Who Is Willing to Share Their AV? Insights about Gender Differences among Seven Countries

“…Autonomous vehicles have been projected to introduce a wide range of impacts, such as reduced road accidents, vehicle emissions, cost of travel or increased productivity [2][3][4][5]15], driving under challenging weather conditions [16]. Furthermore, researchers have pointed out the potential AV impact on highway capacity, e.g., via platooning [17][18][19] driving behaviour [20,21], public transport services [22,23], the value of travel time [24,25], private parking infrastructure [26], accessibility and induced demand [27] among others. A lot of the literature has primarily focused on short-term implications of AVs [4,5], but research community attention has also been shifted towards longer-term socio-technical changes [5,9,15,28].…”

A Review of Cockpit-driving Integration for Human-centric Autonomous Driving

“…The concept of cooperative game theory is introduced to describe the conflicts and cooperation between the uncertain driver behaviors and other subsystems, aiming to enhance the stability of electric vehicle operation in the event of motor faults. Li et al [72] modeled driver behavior in the signal dilemma zone using SMPC. The simulation experiments demonstrated that the proposed driver behavior model framework based on SMPC accurately captures vehicle motion and dynamics in the dilemma zone.…”
