Dear Eclipse community,
We are very thrilled and proud to announce the open source release of the Stochastic Cognitive Model / SCM!
The SCM represents a significant step in simulating driver behavior and creating realistic traffic simulation environments. By understanding human driving, this model allows us to assess traffic safety even better via simulations. Making SCM available to a broad community will certainly catalyze further research, innovation, and collaboration!
Release highlights:
- Standalone simulation model that is wrapped as an FMU
- Runs with the openPASS simulator. But due to its modular integration it should be possible to integrate SCM into any simulator following the OSMP convention (communication via OSI messages)
- Modeling of the driver cognitive processes for a full traceability of the decision chain
- Stochastic simulation of different driver types through detailed parametrization, e.g. reaction times, comfort accelerations, traffic rules compliance, etc.
- Simulation of a realistic gaze behavior
- Possibility to simulate driver distraction
- Simulation of a wide range of highway traffic scenarios, e.g. highway entry/exit, merging, swerving, end of lane, etc.
- Visualization of the mentally perceived agents from a driver perspective
