Traffic flow on straight roads is the most common traffic phenomenon in urban road traffic networks. In this paper, a realistic cellular automaton (CA) model is proposed to investigate driver behavior on urban straight roads based on our field observations. Two types of driver behavior, free and car-following, are simulated. Free driving behavior is modeled by a novel five-stage speeding model ...

In this paper, the concepts of car maneuvers, fuzzy logic control (FLC), and sensor-based behaviors are merged to implement the human-like driving skills by an autonomous car-like mobile robot (CLMR). Four kinds of FLCs, fuzzy wall-following control, fuzzy corner control, fuzzy garage-parking control, and fuzzy parallel-parking control, are synthesized to accomplish the autonomous fuzzy behavio...

In this paper a control system has been designed to improve traffic conditions in car following maneuver. There are different methods to design a control system. In this paper design approach is based on the Fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) system. The aim of designing FSMC system is to achieve safe and desire longitudinal distance and less lateral displacement. In order to control and obtain ...

An extended car-following model is proposed in this paper to analyze the impacts of V2V (vehicle to vehicle) communication on the micro driving behavior at the un-signalized intersection. A four-leg un-signalized intersection with twelve streams (left-turn, through movement, and right turn from each leg) is used. The effect of the guidance strategy on the reduction of the rate of stops and tota...

but does require sufficient real traffic and action data to capture the underlying relationship between states and actions. Therefore, ANN models estimate actions on the basis of the real state–action mapping of natural behavior. Data from the naturalistic driving database of the Naturalistic Truck Driving Study (NTDS) (1), collected by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and Blanco et a...

Pedestrians' road-crossing behavior can often interrupt traffic flow and cause vehicles queueing. In this paper, we propose some moving rules for modeling the interaction of vehicles and pedestrians. The modified visual angle car-following model is presented for the movement of vehicles with consideration of the lateral effect of waiting pedestrians. The pedestrians' behavior is summarized as c...

In this paper we present a concept of a flexible and modular architecture for intelligent cruise control (ICC). The architecture can be subdivided into three different processing steps: the object-related analysis of sensor data, the behavior-based scene interpretation and the behavior planning. Each of it works on collected sensor information as well as on a knowledge base, which can be broade...
