A Multi Lane Car Following Model for Cooperative ADAS

This contribution presents a procedure to obtain a multi - lane car following model in order to simulate larger traffic scenes with different percentages of vehicles equipped with a certain assistance system. We introduce a way how to extend the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) to support multiple lanes and model driver imperfections. The required parameters are obtained from an experiment in a 3D stereoscopic driving simulator in a CAVE and then transferred to an implementation of the Car Following Model in the traffic simulator SUMO. Promising results regarding the overall effect of the presented Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are obtained executing several hundred simulation runs of various scenarios.     «
