Critical review of models and parameters for Driver models in different surface transport systems and in different safety critical situations (original) (raw)
The first work package in ITERATE (WP1) contains a critical review and synthesis of existing paradigms of modeling human behaviour for drivers of road vehicles, trains (national railways including regional, intercity and high speed trains as well as underground and light metro) and maritime vessels (ships). Based on this review a reference model of Driver Vehicle Environment will be developed and described in D1.2. A variety of approaches to modeling driver behaviour are possible as options. The literature review covers the more widely cited of these. Generally, these might be categorized as either 'Descriptive' models which can only describe the driving task in terms of what the driver has to do or 'Functional' models which are able to explain & predict drivers' performance in demanding situations and drivers' behaviour in typical ones. It seems that the optimal approach might be a hybrid of several types of descriptive and functional models. In recent years, a variety of driver support and information management systems have been designed and implemented with the objective of improving safety as well as performance of vehicles. While the crucial issues at a technical level have been mostly solved, their consequences for driver behaviour remain to be fully explained. To reach this goal, predictive models combining features of descriptive and functional models-of the interaction of the driver with the vehicle and the environment are necessary. The aim of the European Project Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle InterfacE (AIDE) was to integrate all in vehicle support and information systems in a harmonized user interface (Saad, 2006). The ITERATE project will take this further by developing it into a unified driver model that is also applicable to other transport domains. The aim of this deliverable is to present a critical review of Driver-Vehicle-Environment (DVE) models and most relevant parameters to be implemented in such models, in different surface transport modes and in different safety critical situations. The next deliverable (D1.2) will describe and detail the Unified Model of Driver behaviour (UMD) and definition of key parameters for specific applications. The proposed model will be used to support design and safety assessment of innovative technologies and make it possible to adapt these technologies to the abilities, needs, driving style and capacity of the individual drivers.
