Visual perception modelling for intelligent virtual driver agents in synthetic driving simulation
thesis
posted on 2018-08-17, 13:49 authored by Abdulai D. DumbuyaThis thesis documents new research into the modelling of driver vision and the
integration of a new vision model into a microscopic traffic simulation tool. It is
proposed and demonstrated that modelling of driver vision enhances the realism of
simulated driver decision-making and behaviour, in turn, leading to improved
simulation of driver interactions and traffic flow.
Driving and traffic related research has traditionally fallen into the three distinct areas
of driver psychology, traffic and highway engineering and vehicle dynamics, with
modelling or experimentation in any of these areas supported by significant
approximation in the others. In contrast to this, the vision research discussed here has
been carried out in a context that aims to integrate all of these areas equally. This has
been realised through the implementation of a new modelling environment, Synthetic
Driving SIMulation, SD-SIM. [Continues.]
