ACME (A Common Mental Environment)-Driver - A Cognitive Car Driver Model

Abstract

When working on large-scale traffic observation projects very often simulations and therefore, models of the behavior of the molecular simulation elements (the car-driver-units) are needed. Most of the models for traffic simulations are based on approximations of statistical real-world data. While fast in computation, they sometimes fail to show real-world phenomena. Our project uses a different approach. We try to model a human driver´s behaviour by modelling her or his cognitive information processing in a simulated environment. While several papers about experiments concerning single phenomena exist, this approach is meant to describe the wohle information processing of a driver on a high abstraction level. This paper will show some topics of interest for a human cognition model. Possible applications are listed, too.
