A model for the structure of lane-changing decisions
TLDR
A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic.Abstract:
A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes. The model is intended to cover the urban driving situation, where traffic signals, obstructions and heavy vehicles all exert an influence. The structure is designed to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic. The specific mathematical expression of the questions embedded in the decision process and employed in the present implementation of the model are not critical and can be replaced by alternatives, but the heirarchy of the decisions is crucial. On the basis of experience to date, the lane changing model produces a realistic simulation of driver behaviour and has proved very robust under a wide range of conditions.read more

Intelligent service to perform overtaking in vehicular networks

TL;DR: A driver assistance service that uses real-time information transmitted among vehicles and formal methods to calculate the trajectories and to assign the optimal behavior to overtake and shows that it is possible to find a secure configuration in a scenario with three vehicles and a collision's probability of 98%.

In Search of Severity Dimensions of Traffic Conflicts for Different Simulated Mixed Fleets Involving Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assess the severity of conflicts using a holistic approach that considers three dimensions: (1) proximity to collision, via the time-to-collision (TTC) indicator; (2) potential consequences of a conflict, via single surrogate safety measures such as maximum speed (MaxS) and vehicle speed difference (DeltaS); and (3) a combination of both dimensions to assign severity scores, via TTC and velocity vectors.

Joint modelling of longitudinal and lateral dynamics in lane-changing maneuvers
TL;DR: In this article , the authors model a lane-changing event as two behaviourally interconnected phases: "stay" and "execution" phases, and use a Bayesian survival analysis to predict the probability of the stay duration before a new execution phase.

Lane Changing Effects on Surrounding Vehicles by Incorporating the Risk Factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extracted the risk factors from real data and determined the influenced factors of risk perception-based lane changing (LC) decision using a logistic model, and then the effects on these influenced factors are investigated by comparing the before and after LC maneuvers for LC execution.

A behavioural car-following model for computer simulation
TL;DR: A new model is constructed for the response of the following vehicle based on the assumption that each driver sets limits to his desired braking and acceleration rates and it is shown that when realistic values are assigned to the parameters in a simulation, the model reproduces the characteristics of real traffic flow.

Nonlinear Effects in the Dynamics of Car Following
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a small amplitude disturbance propagates through a series of cars in the manner described by linear theories, except that the dependence of the wave velocity on the car velocity causes an accleration wave to spread as it propagates and a deceleration wave forming a stable shock.

A Generalization of Linear Car-Following Theory
TL;DR: The linear theory of single-lane traffic flow is generalized by using an integral transform technique well-known in other branches of applied science that introduces the idea of a memory function that describes the way in which a driver processes the information he receives from a lead vehicle.
