Driver model behaviour from ECE regulation

[tmIdiada]

Hi,

is it on your list to implement also the driver model from ECE regulation (including the jerk times, the lateral movement possibilities until perception, perception time, risk evaluation time, ... and also the AEB as baseline with its jerk time, delay and 0.85G deceleration, ...) as baseline for the comparison of the results?

Kind regards,

Hi,

an interesting suggestion. We haven't considered that yet. The driver model would be a specific controller for the ego vehicle, which could be used instead of the ALKS function. So this is a bit of a different focus, but I can check, if maybe esmini already provides such a controller. This would improve the demonstration, if the ego vehicle isn't driven by the default controller and does not crash into the targets all the time.

@eknabevcc
Do you have a recommendation, which of the esmini controllers would be suitable for a human driver model that brakes as well (doesn't need to have exactly the parameters of the ALKS driver model)?

Hi, yes for sure there is the possibility to implement it as a controller. But there is also the possibility to create such scenarios with appropriate actions for the ego vehicle, then for each scenario a second xosc would be needed with this driver model (quick and dirty solution to create such a baseline).

But for sure the proper solution would be a controller.

Good discussion. First, esmini is unfortunately lacking a longitudinal driver model/controller. However it is planned to add a simple one, probably during September (no commitment, just prognosis :)).

I also like @tmIdiada's idea of implementing driver behavior by means of OSC maneuver (including relevant events with conditions and actions) put in a catalog which could be referred to in any scenario. Haven't tested it, but it seems conceptually feasible.
But I agree, a controller is a cleaner solution.

To conclude, unfortunately no such controller in esmini yet.
