  2. 1. Modeling Driver Behavior : A Control Theory Based Approach

    Author : Katja Vogel; Lars Åberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The aim of the project, which led to this thesis, was to suggest a micro-level driver behavior model, which would allow estimating the effects of safety measures on road traffic safety. The empirical research on driver behavior should be conducted in urban areas, because they are much less explored than rural areas, even though most non-fatal accidents occur in urban areas.

  4. 2. Driver Modeling based on computational intelligence approaches : exploaration and Modeling driver-following data collected by an instrumented vehicle

    Author : Xiaoliang Ma; Karl-Lennart Bång; Mark Dougherty; KTH; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with modeling of driver behavior based on data collected from real traffic using an advanced instrumented vehicle. In particular, the focus is on driver-following behavior (often called car-following in transport science) for microscopic simulation of road traffic systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Driver modeling: Data collection, model analysis, and optimization

    Author : Ola Benderius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driving simulator; driver modeling; stochastic optimization; simulation software; genetic algorithm;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns aspects of driver modeling, with an emphasis on critical near-crash scenarios, involving time spans of around 10 s of driving. Here,driver modeling has been studied using both computer simulations and experiments carried out in a high-fidelity driving simulator. READ MORE

  6. 4. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments

    Author : Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Amir Rashid; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; element flow analysis; industrial ecology; product systems; end-of-life; DPSIR; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; environmental management; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Abstract : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evaluating vehicle stability support systems by measuring, analyzing, and modeling driver behavior

    Author : Gustav M Markkula; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driver behavior; driver models; system evaluation; heavy trucks; driving simulators; active safety; electronic stability control;

    Abstract : This thesis presents an investigation of near-accident behavior of truck drivers, with and without support from an electronic stability control (ESC) system. A critical scenario, involving both collision avoidance and vehicle stabilization on a low-friction surface, was studied in a driving simulator. READ MORE
