Investigation and modeling of human driver behavior based on Langevin analysis — •Michael Langner and Joachim Peinke — Istitute of Physics - Forwind, University of Oldenburg, Germany

Based on experimental data, taken from a driving simulator, we present different ways how a stochastic model of the driver behavior can be estimated directly from the given data. This method is called Langevin analysis and allows the separation of a given dataset into a stochastic diffusion- and a deterministic drift field equivalent to a stochastic potential. Usually this method is used to get a model for data that possess strong Markovian properties and a strong statistical component, but it also yields interesting results if it is used in a more general way. In this case it is used to model the variations in the car trajectories caused by the human behavior.

This work is part of the IMoST (Integrated Modeling for Safe Transportation) project. The data for the modeling purpose was collected with a driving simulator located at the DLR in Braunschweig.
