Abstract:
In order to improve lane change assistance and automated lane changes, a better understanding of human lane change behaviour, in terms of trajectories and steering behaviour, is needed. This study focuses on quantifying inter- and intra-driver variability in lane change behaviour, in terms of lane change duration and steering behaviour. In an exploratory study, twelve participants drove 3 lane change scenarios in a moving base simulator study. The independent variable being the distance to a trailing vehicle in the target lane of 25, 35 and 50m.The results show that intra-driver variability is in the same range as inter-driver variability in terms of standard deviation: 1.6 and 1.1 seconds respectively for a mean lane change duration of 6.7 seconds. Variability between traffic scenarios is 0.57 seconds. Subsequent analysis showed that the lane change duration does not determine the steering behaviour during the lane change. Concluding, maximum and minimum steering angle as well as the integral of the steering angle could be useful metrics to describe lane change behaviour in addition to lane change duration. Furthermore, high intra-driver variability in lane change duration and steering behaviour requires adaptable trajectories that can accommodate the wide range of lane change behaviour. Additionally, apersonalized initial lane change trajectory can be generated to mitigate inter-driver variability.
