Y. Luo and L. Bölöni. Modeling the conscious behavior of drivers for multi-lane highway driving. In 7th International Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation (ATT-2012), pp. 95–103, June 2012.
The current state of the art in simulating highway driving extensively relies on models using formulas similar to those describing physical phenomena such as forces, viscosity or potential fields. While the parametrization of these formulas can account for the limitations of the driver (such as reaction delay), they are badly suited for modeling conscious behavior. In this paper we describe our simulation architecture which uses an agent-based model to represent the conscious tactical and strategic behavior of the agent. This model will act as a high level input to a state-of-the-art virtual physics model which models the physical vehicle and the subconscious aspects of the driver behavior. The concrete aspects of driving modeled in this paper are the strategic lane preferences of the drivers, with a special attention to the optimal lane positioning for a safe exit. We have used the model to simulate the traffic on Orlando's Highway 408. The results match well with the real world traffic data. The increased simulation detail can be applied to crash prediction and the control of intelligent transportation system devices, such as variable speed limits.

The current state of the art in simulating highway driving
extensively relies on models using formulas similar to those
describing physical phenomena such as forces, viscosity or potential
fields. While the parametrization of these formulas can account for
the limitations of the driver (such as reaction delay), they are
badly suited for modeling conscious behavior. In this paper we
describe our simulation architecture which uses an agent-based model
to represent the conscious tactical and strategic behavior of the
agent. This model will act as a high level input to a
state-of-the-art virtual physics model which models the physical
vehicle and the subconscious aspects of the driver behavior.
The concrete aspects of driving modeled in this paper are the
strategic lane preferences of the drivers, with a special attention
to the optimal lane positioning for a safe exit. We have used the
model to simulate the traffic on Orlando's Highway 408. The results
match well with the real world traffic data. The increased
simulation detail can be applied to crash prediction and the control
of intelligent transportation system devices, such as variable speed
limits.
