Modeling and Simulation of Right-turning Vehicle-Bicycle Interactions at Intersections

Abstract:

In order to precisely describe the interactions and develop accurate simulation models, an analysis was made of the characteristics of bicycle group and the dynamic multistep decision process of drivers, based on which a three-layer modeling framework consisting of drivers’ perception, decision making and action were proposed, and a modified social force model was used for simulation and model evaluation. The results can give further support to build a more reliable microscopic simulation platform and provide ideas for autonomous vehicles.
