Combined car-following and unsafe event trajectory simulation using agent based modeling techniques

摘要

This paper presents a research effort aimed at modeling normal and safety-critical driving behavior in traffic under naturalistic driving data using agent based modeling techniques. Neuro-fuzzy reinforcement learning was used to train the agents. The developed agents were implemented in the VISSIM simulation platform and were evaluated by comparing the behavior of vehicles with and without agent behavior activation. The results showed very close resemblance of the behavior of agents to driver data.
