Abstract:

During motorway driving behaviour, the car-following behaviour is the most popular among the rest of behaviours e.g., lane-changing and overtaking. However, a few research has been done on the effect of lane change behaviour on car-following behaviour. The effect is a highly complex transient state among the car-following models and makes the car follower exit the previous ones, which are known as conventional models, for a limited time. Accordingly, in this paper, an intelligent model includes anticipation of interaction behaviour regarding the micro-structure of drivers is proposed, when Lane Changer (LC) exits the lane is studied. Continuously, a fuzzy controller is designed based on the criteria of detecting the complex behaviour in the model. Both the model and the controller aim to regulate the Follower Vehicle (FV) acceleration which simulates the behaviour of a real driver. Afterward, its performance is compared with the database of human drivers. The results assert that the model is capable to estimate the behaviour of the real drivers perfectly. Also, the controller provides a safer and smoother drive comparing to a real driver, in addition to less traveling time.

I. Introduction

Regarding the recent developments in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry, its usage rate is gradually increasing. Basically, this system not only helps to increase safety, but also reduces the volume of traffic [1]. Amongst, the car-following models are assessed through new intelligent transport system applications [2]. These models lead us to demonstrate the effects of lane change and lengthwise movement of a driver follows other vehicles and tries to maintain in a safe distance respect to the front vehicle [2]. There are two hidden states investigated less in recent studies, named anticipation and relaxation behavior that happen for following vehicle before and after the lane change respectively [3]. Accordingly, when LC suddenly exits the certain lane, the FV unexpectedly encounters far distance from leading vehicle. Thus, it takes several seconds, that FV compensates and adjusts to a safe position [4]. According to Fig. 1, this transient state is called relaxation which is a nonlinear behaviour. Moreover, anticipation is another factor that helps driver to maintain in a safe position. Addressing anticipation behaviour, LC decides to implement its plan, and signals using indicators to make the FV aware, thus the follower is able to manage maintain an optimised lane change by decreasing the relative distance considering the safety. These factors, considerably help to control traffic, have studied less in recent researches [5]- [8]. Accordingly, they are chosen as main objective of this study, and novel Adaptive Nero-Fuzzy Interface Systems (ANFIS) are proposed for assessment [9]- [11].
