A Model-Based Approach for Performing Successful Multi-Driver Scenarios

Abstract

When designing driving simulator studies, sometimes high efforts have to be spent to make them successful. Some drivers may not behave as desired, leading to situations unforeseen by the developers. When looking at multi-driver studies, where multiple drivers need to interact with each other in one virtual environment, the probability of performing a successful study is even lower, as the behaviour of the human drivers cannot be fully controlled. While [Oel15b] already proposed guidelines for the creation of such scenarios, this paper describes how the probability of success can be monitored and even enhanced during scenario execution. Therefore, it describes an approach where the probability of success is modelled and where the scenario is dynamically adapted to provide higher rates of success.
