Driving maneuvers prediction based on cognition-driven and data-driven method
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) improve driving safety
significantly. They alert drivers from unsafe traffic conditions when a
dangerous maneuver appears. Traditional methods to predict driving maneuvers
are mostly based on data-driven models alone. However, existing methods to
understand the driver's intention remain an ongoing challenge due to a lack of
intersection of human cognition and data analysis. To overcome this challenge,
we propose a novel method that combines both the cognition-driven model and the
data-driven model. We introduce a model named Cognitive Fusion-RNN (CF-RNN)
which fuses the data inside the vehicle and the data outside the vehicle in a
cognitive way. The CF-RNN model consists of two Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
branches regulated by human reaction time. Experiments on the Brain4Cars
benchmark dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms previous
methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance
The Application of Driver Models in the Safety Assessment of Autonomous Vehicles: A Survey
Driver models play a vital role in developing and verifying autonomous
vehicles (AVs). Previously, they are mainly applied in traffic flow simulation
to model realistic driver behavior. With the development of AVs, driver models
attract much attention again due to their potential contributions to AV
certification. The simulation-based testing method is considered an effective
measure to accelerate AV testing due to its safe and efficient characteristics.
Nonetheless, realistic driver models are prerequisites for valid simulation
results. Additionally, an AV is assumed to be at least as safe as a careful and
competent driver. Therefore, driver models are inevitable for AV safety
assessment. However, no comparison or discussion of driver models is available
regarding their utility to AVs in the last five years despite their necessities
in the release of AVs. This motivates us to present a comprehensive survey of
driver models in the paper and compare their applicability. Requirements for
driver models in terms of their application to AV safety assessment are
discussed. A summary of driver models for simulation-based testing and AV
certification is provided. Evaluation metrics are defined to compare their
strength and weakness. Finally, an architecture for a careful and competent
driver model is proposed. Challenges and future work are elaborated. This study
gives related researchers especially regulators an overview and helps them to
define appropriate driver models for AVs
Artificial co-drivers as a universal enabling technology for future intelligent vehicles and transportation systems
This position paper introduces the concept of artificial
“co-drivers” as an enabling technology for future intelligent
transportation systems. In Sections I and II, the design
principles of co-drivers are introduced and framed within general human–robot interactions. Several contributing theories and technologies are reviewed, specifically those relating to relevant cognitive architectures, human-like sensory-motor strategies, and
the emulation theory of cognition. In Sections III and IV, we
present the co-driver developed for the EU project interactIVe
as an example instantiation of this notion, demonstrating how
it conforms to the given guidelines. We also present substantive experimental results and clarify the limitations and performance of the current implementation. In Sections IV and V, we analyze the impact of the co-driver technology. In particular, we identify a range of application fields, showing how it constitutes a universal enabling technology for both smart vehicles and cooperative systems, and naturally sets out a program for future research

Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

Detection of Risky Driving Behaviors in the Naturalistic Environment in Healthy Older Adults and Mild Alzheimer’s Disease
Analyzing naturalistic driving behavior recorded with in-car cameras is an ecologically valid method for measuring driving errors, but it is time intensive and not easily applied on a large scale. This study validated a semi-automated, computerized method using archival naturalistic driving data collected for drivers with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD; n = 44) and age-matched healthy controls (HC; n = 16). The computerized method flagged driving situations where safety concerns are most likely to occur (i.e., rapid stops, lane deviations, turns, and intersections). These driving epochs were manually reviewed and rated for error type and severity, if present. Ratings were made with a standardized scoring system adapted from DriveCam®. The top eight error types were applied as features to train a logistic model tree classifier to predict diagnostic group. The sensitivity and specificity were compared among the event-based method, on-road test, and composite ratings of two weeks of recorded driving. The logistic model derived from the event-based method had the best overall accuracy (91.7%) and sensitivity (97.7%) and high specificity (75.0%) compared to the other methods. Review of driving situations where risk is highest appears to be a sensitive data reduction method for detecting cognitive impairment associated driving behaviors and may be a more cost-effective method for analyzing large volumes of naturalistic data
CPSOR-GCN: A Vehicle Trajectory Prediction Method Powered by Emotion and Cognitive Theory
Active safety systems on vehicles often face problems with false alarms. Most
active safety systems predict the driver's trajectory with the assumption that
the driver is always in a normal emotion, and then infer risks. However, the
driver's trajectory uncertainty increases under abnormal emotions. This paper
proposes a new trajectory prediction model: CPSOR-GCN, which predicts vehicle
trajectories under abnormal emotions. At the physical level, the interaction
features between vehicles are extracted by the physical GCN module. At the
cognitive level, SOR cognitive theory is used as prior knowledge to build a
Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) structure. The conditional probability and state
transition probability of nodes from the calibrated SOR-DBN quantify the causal
relationship between cognitive factors, which is embedded into the cognitive
GCN module to extract the characteristics of the influence mechanism of
emotions on driving behavior. The CARLA-SUMO joint driving simulation platform
was built to develop dangerous pre-crash scenarios. Methods of recreating
traffic scenes were used to naturally induce abnormal emotions. The experiment
collected data from 26 participants to verify the proposed model. Compared with
the model that only considers physical motion features, the prediction accuracy
of the proposed model is increased by 68.70%. Furthermore,considering the
SOR-DBN reduces the prediction error of the trajectory by 15.93%. Compared with
other advanced trajectory prediction models, the results of CPSOR-GCN also have
lower errors. This model can be integrated into active safety systems to better
adapt to the driver's emotions, which could effectively reduce false alarms.Comment: 15 pages, 31 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Intelligent
