Survey on Driver Merging Behavior toward Realization of Autonomous Merging

Autonomous highway merging is one of the challenges for achieving “High Driving Automation”. This study aims to investigate human driver behavior when manually merging into a highway with different traffic speeds and densities for the development of safe autonomous merging. Using a driving simulator, the authors designed various merging situations based on real-world highway settings in Japan. Considering the UN Regulation (No. 157) for Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS), they examined the feasibility of autonomous merging when applying the current vehicle lane change requirements and further examined human driving characteristics for autonomous highway merging.
