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.

Spatiotemporal Interaction Pattern Recognition and Risk Evolution Analysis During Lane Changes

TL;DR: In this article , a learning framework that combines primitive-based interaction pattern recognition and risk analysis is proposed for complex lane change (LC) scenarios, where semantic interpretation and safety analysis of dynamic interaction pattern are necessary for autonomous vehicles to make appropriate decisions.

Learning MPC for Interaction-Aware Autonomous Driving: A Game-Theoretic Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a novel control strategy for controlling autonomous vehicles in general traffic situations which accounts for the mutual interactions between the controlled vehicle and other road users, where each road user is assumed to minimize a shared cost function subject to shared (collision avoidance) constraints.

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

Gentry Lee
- 01 Aug 1966 - 
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.
