Abstract

To enhance human-like behavior in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and improve driver satisfaction, this paper proposes a driver risk perception and response modeling approach based on psychological field theory. First, a driver risk perception model is constructed, quantifying perceived risk intensity by incorporating both driver characteristics and environmental risk factors. Second, a human-like risk response mechanism is developed, linking quantified risk perception to behavioral responses. Using naturalistic driving data from the HighD dataset, a genetic algorithm is applied for personalized parameter optimization, improving the model’s predictive accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed Driver Risk Perception and Response Model (DRRM) more accurately captures acceleration trends across driving styles, reducing mean squared error (MSE) by 25.29% and 37.11% compared to the IDM and FVD models, respectively. This work offers theoretical support for developing intelligent, driver-adaptive assistance systems.
