An integrated driver-vehicle-environment (I-DVE) model to assess crash risks

Existing driver models lack substantive concepts that express the interactions between the driver, vehicle and environment (DVE). A new Integrated driver-vehicle-environment (I-DVE) model is formally presented as a set of concepts and equations representing interactions between the driver, vehicle and environment with the view to assess crash risks. The I-DVE model features realistic and measurable attributes, which ultimately influence the driving performance and associated crash risks. I-DVE model is validated in a simulation. The simulation uses empirical data related to time to collision (TTC), energy equivalent speed (EES), injury severity and driver profile to assess crash risks. This paper 1. reviews existing driver modeling approaches and highlights the need for an integrated approach; 2. defines a novel model capable of expressing risks associated interaction between the driver, environment and vehicle; and 3. provides directions for further research in driver behaviour modeling.
