description abstract | It has been previously documented that under the condition of crossing an uncontrolled intersection, the decision-making process of drivers is rather complex and highly interactive: they need to decide about the timing, direction, and strategy to complete the required maneuver to avoid potential conflicts. Given the significant impact of this behavior on intersection safety and capacity, we model the merging behavior of a straight-moving vehicle facing a turning vehicle at an uncontrolled intersection in China. We expect that this model can predict the probability that a straight-moving driver has a preemptive status (i.e., arrive at the merging point before the turning vehicle). The factors which determine the drivers’ decision behavior are analyzed, and then we propose a logistic regression model using a dataset collected from an uncontrolled intersection in Kunming, China. Our model reveals that the speed difference, the distance between the two vehicles, and the distance of the turning vehicle to the merging point are the major determinants of a straight-moving driver’s decision. In addition, the prediction results from our model are compared with real-world observations, and better validate the decision behavior model in China. | |
