Abstract

This paper incorporates the driver compliance behaviour into a connected vehicle driving strategy (CVDS) that can be integrated with traditional car-following (CF) models to better describe the connected vehicle CF behaviour. Driver compliance, a key human factor for the success of connected vehicles technology, is modelled using a celebrated theory of decision making under risk - the Prospect theory (PT). The reformulated value and weighting functions of PT are consistent with the driver compliance behaviour and also preserve the integral elements of PT. Furthermore, the connected vehicle trajectory data collected from a carefully designed advanced driving simulator experiment are utilised to calibrate CVDS integrated with Intelligent Driver Model (IDM), i.e., CVDS-IDM. The calibration results reveal that drivers in the connected environment drive safely and efficiently. Moreover, the CVDS-IDM can successfully model and predict the CF dynamics of connected vehicles and is more behaviourally and numerically sound than a traditional CF model.
