Incorporating Driver Distraction in Car-following Models: Applying the TCI to the IDM

ITS can play a significant role in the improvement of traffic flow, traffic safety and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the implementation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems may lead to adaptation effects in longitudinal driving behavior following driver distraction. It was however not yet clear how to model these adaptation effects in driving behavior mathematically and on which theoretical framework this should be grounded. To this end in this contribution the authors introduce a theoretical framework based on the Task-Capability-Interface model by Fuller and integrate this model into the Intelligent Driver Model. Through a case study using simulations the authors show that this integration provides a relatively adequate description of the effects of driver distraction. The contribution finishes with conclusions and recommendations for future research.
