Driver Behavior Model in Emergency Situations : On Basic Structure of A Driver Model

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show basic structure of a driver model that simulate driver's behaviors in emergency situations. The features of this model are that the parameters are systematically set up without trial and error by using predictive control method and a driver's internal model is introduced and a minimum lateral jerk line is applied as target course. The results of experiments to decide the structure, the internal model and predictive time, are shown. The model was applied to simulate driver's behaviors in lane change maneuver. It follows from the results that the driver model adequately simulate general and expert driver's behavior in experiment.
