Abstract
Car-following (CF) and lane-changing (LC) behavior models have been widely studied separately as the core models of traffic simulation. However, in practice, CF and LC are inseparable and thus integrated driving (ID) models containing CF and LC behaviors emerge. Here, we proposed a new work to introduce the social force (SF) model to the operational ID behavioral model on the highway. First, a data-driven-based operational ID behavioral model is proposed in the hierarchical social force behavioral model framework. Then, the inputs/output of the SF-ID behavioral model is determined. SF-ID model is built by the feed-forward neural networks (FNN), and the network structure and other parameters are calibrated and verified by field data. Results of the test on CF and LC situations show that our proposed FNN SF-ID model has a good capability in reproducing/predicting the operational ID behaviors on the highway. In addition, we also analyzed the structural features of the FNN SF-ID models, and refine the original models by removing insignificant inputs. The comparison results showed that the refined model—FNN SF-ID (R)—performed better than the original models.
