Abstract:

At a high level, the goal of this project is to collect data on how drivers approach and drive through intersections. Research at the University of Michigan concerns the development of the driving simulator scenarios and testing human subjects. In addition, considerable related research is being conducted on research methods. At MIT, models based on the research at Michigan are being developed. This abstract concerns those part of the project conducted at the University of Michigan.

Visible to the public Advances in Driving Research - Models, Data, and New Methods

Abstract:

The current project, collaboration between the MIT and the University of Michigan, concerns the development of complex models to describe driver decision making at intersections. MIT is focused on modeling and Michigan on data collection and method development. Two experiments have been conducted so far (24 subjects/experiment) using a NADS MiniSim driving simulator for which extensive programming was required. Subjects drove through 2 sets of 70 intersections following a lead vehicle (and being followed).
