Driver Behavior Modeling Toward Autonomous Vehicles: Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Driver behavior models have been used as input to self-coaching, accident prevention studies, and developing driver-assisting systems. In recent years, driver behavior recognition has revolutionized autonomous vehicles (AVs) and traffic management studies. This comprehensive survey provides an up-to-date review of the different driver behavior models and modeling approaches. In heterogeneous streets where humans and autonomous vehicles operate simultaneously, predicting the intent and action of human drivers is crucial for AVs with the help of wireless communication and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Therefore, the review also summarizes the applications of driver behavior modeling (DBM) for effective behavior recognition and human-like AV driving. Moreover, the review also covers the application of DBM in capturing behaviors of complex dynamic driving tasks. In this review, we solely cover car-following (CF) and lane-changing (LC) maneuvers.
