Analysis, Modeling, and Control of Merging Behavior at Low Speeds

In a merging environment where automatic and manual operations are mixed, it is important for both parties to communicate with each other. While much research has been conducted at high speeds, such as on expressways, little progress has been made at low speeds, such as on ordinary roads. In this presentation, we will experimentally observe the driving characteristics of drivers in right-angle merging at low speeds, and construct a right-angle merging model that takes negotiation into account.
