*TITLE*:   Human/Machine Learning in Driver Behavior Modeling
*TIME*:  3:30 PM

*LOCATION*:  GMCS 214

*ABSTRACT*: Traffic conflicts associated to signalized intersections are
one of the major contributing factors to crash occurrences. Driver behavior
plays an important role in traffic safety at signalized intersections. In
this seminar, dynamics of driver behavior in relation to the traffic
conflicts occurring at the onset of yellow is discussed. The area ahead of
intersections in which drivers encounter a dilemma to pass through or stop
at the onset of yellow indication is called dilemma zone (DZ). The focus of
my research is on drivers’ decision dynamics, human learning, and choice
behavior in DZ, and DZ-related safety measures. I developed an adaptive
experimental design in a driving simulator to capture drivers learning
process while experiencing safe and unsafe signal settings. I developed an
agent-based human learning model integrating machine learning and human
learning techniques. An abstracted model of human memory and cognitive
structure was used to model agent’s behavior and learning. I will discuss
the results of the model which was trained using the driving simulator
data. Next, the possibility of predicting drivers’ decision approaching a
yellow signal indication in different time frames will be discussed. I
applied a machine learning technique -discriminant analysis- to construct a
driver behavior prediction model. This model assists advanced signal
protection algorithms to make more intelligent decisions.
