ABSTRACT
Testing and assessing of vehicle control systems require realistic
environment, which requires enormous workload; to some extend it is
impractical to set up the realistic environment. A comprehensive
traffic environment simulation model has been designed and implemented
for supporting vehicle control system development. The model consists
of tow sub models: the motorway traffic flow model and driver behaviour
model. The traffic flow model provides realistic simulation according
with empirical data collected from a typical section of motorway.
Following this, the principle of microscopic simulation and the
representation of road users are discussed. Driver models for both car
following and lane changing are then developed. The microscopic
parameters in the driver models are then optimized to fit the
simulation results with existing empirical data. The integrated
simulation software provides support for vehicle control system
development such as adaptive cruise control system.
