Interaction in movement. Computational modelling of human road user behaviour
Abstract: When we humans move our bodies from one point to another in the world, most of the time we do so on or close to roads, as pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and so on. As road users we exhibit a complex set of behaviours, spanning a relatively comprehensive subset of human behaviour more broadly, encompassing aspects of perception, motor control, decision-making, interpretation of others’ behaviour, as well as different forms of communication and interaction. To make road traffic safer and facilitate deployment of automated vehicles or robots in public spaces, there is a need for computational models of how humans interact with each other, with robotic agents, as well as with the road infrastructure itself. In this talk I will present some of these application areas, the involved human behaviours and cognitive mechanisms, as well as models developed by us and others to support computational approaches to improved road traffic.
