“…On the other hand, at high global density these ratios change to 93%, 2% and 5%, respectively. These measurements and comparison with the experimental data suggests that the drivers in the model are very aggressive (in [5][6][7][8] the ratio of continuous overtaking is taken as a indirect measurement of aggressiveness among drivers), but not as aggressive as drivers studied in undivided roads in some parts of India [5].…”

“…The safety conditions are determined essentially by the gap availability in front of the slow car, the gap in the lane with the opposite flow, and the relative speeds. However, drivers can underestimate the safety criteria or can even become impatient, performing dangerous manoeuvres [7]. In particular, the proximity of the oncoming vehicle can force the overtaking driver to move back to the lane as soon as possible.…”

“…The risk of a headon collision is maximum in the case of two-lane undivided highways, which make up a major proportion of the road network around the globe. These roads represent more than 90% of the highway network in the USA, 90% of all rural roads in Germany, and around 92% of all roads in Spain [4], [5].…”

Passing Sight Distance (PSD) is pivotal for two-lane undivided highways, impacting their safety and operational performance. However, current PSD standards and models are based on simplistic assumptions and do not consider road characteristics and vehicle dynamic response. This study investigates the adequacy of PSD models in practice by comparing them with more realistic values obtained from IPG CarMaker ® , a commercial vehicle and traffic simulation software. Similar test variables are chosen to compare the simulation and standards consistently. Since road gradient and road-tire friction affect the acceleration capabilities of vehicles, their effects on PSD are analysed by configuring the parameters in the simulation. High deviations of up to 94% are observed in the PSD values compared to the existing model under different road conditions. In the paper's second half, the existing model is evaluated for its performance in mixed traffic conditions by comparison with empirical data. Followed by this, an analytical model for PSD is proposed, which considers vehicle dynamic response. This model allows parameter selection and the application of physical vehicle constraints, considering the microscopic behaviour of a vehicle during a overtake. The deviations observed in PSD values obtained from this model are within 5% for the specified test cases simulated in the vehicle dynamics simulator. Furthermore, the model is benchmarked against existing models using field data, demonstrating its superior performance in terms of feasibility and safety. The accurate replication of overtaking manoeuvres by the analytical model will have significant implications for geometric design, traffic operations, advanced driver assistance, autonomous vehicle applications and policymaking.

“…For example, Haneen Farah collected the data on the overtaking behavior of 100 drivers by analyzing the data features. The results show interesting and significant differences in the overtaking behavior of drivers depending on their age and gender [15]. Although this method has been successfully implemented in specific cases, it is still limited to be used to understand the context behind the behaviors and may need huge data storage resources.…”

Advanced Driver Assistance Strategies for a Single-Vehicle Overtaking a Platoon on the Two-Lane Two-Way Road

et al. 2020

Recently, the ever-increasing vehicle population has become a severe challenge to traffic safety, especially the problem of a single-vehicle overtaking a platoon on the Two-Lane Two-Way (TLTW) road. Platooning has the potential to improve traffic efficiency and safety. However, there exists a perilous situation of ''Neither overtake nor give up'' when the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW road. This paper presents a flexible framework to automatically filter a large quantity of Advanced Driver Assistance Strategies (ADAS) and select the most suitable driver assistance information for the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW road. A step-by-step Single Vehicle Overtakes Platoon (SVOP) algorithm is designed to generate the coarse ADAS, which had given plenty of consideration to the vehicle safety, traffic efficiency, and driving comfort. Then, this paper obtains the raw data about the single-vehicle overtakes a platoon on the TLTW by using CARLA, which can help us to get 20 drivers' upper and down boundaries of both velocity and acceleration. In addition, the extracted ranges of velocity and acceleration are used to quantitatively analyse the drivers' driving features and filter the ADAS information. Finally, a Bayesian nonparametric approach is developed to segment driver's driving raw data temporal sequences into small analytically interpretable components without using prior knowledge. So that the accurately overtaking characteristics can be obtained, and the ADAS can be further filtered. Experimental results demonstrate that the obtained coarse ADAS are only valid in theory but not acceptable by most of the drivers. Nonetheless, by leveraging the nonparametric Bayes algorithm, the driver's overtaking behavior can be divided into different primitives, from which some could obtain the driver's acceptance range for the velocity and acceleration. 92.3% ∼ 94.78% invalid SVOP ADAS could be filtered out by leveraging the primitive-based SVOP approach. Thus, after filtering, the overtaking scheme is the most acceptable strategy for drivers.
