Driver Behavior Modeling – Rodolfo Valiente

Driver Behavior Modeling:

We studying Driver Behavior Modeling to predict driving maneuvers, driver intent, and vehicle state to improve transportation safety and the driving experience. Taking advantage of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication.

Studying the data recorded from vehicles driven by humans reveals that a human driver’s behavior consists of certain patterns and micro-maneuvers. Extracting abstract models of these micro-maneuvers enables us to reliably predict the motion and dynamics of human-driven vehicles.

We particularly focus on two approaches: 1) a stochastic hybrid system based on Gaussian and Dirichlet processes and 2) a data-driven model trained on our D2CAV driving dataset.
