Analysis and Modelling of Road User Behaviour (Chalmers University Summer School)
APPLICATION CLOSED - 19 – 23 August 2024 - This summer school teaches about the critical role of road-user behaviour in a safe transport system. The school will focus on the potential for new technology (e.g., advanced driving assistance systems, automated driving) to improve safety for all road users by predicting human behaviour.
Keywords: active safety systems, automated vehicles, crash causation, human behaviour modelling, naturalistic data, safety assessment, vulnerable road users

Road crashes are a global concern: the World Health Organization estimates that approximately 1.3 million road fatalities occur worldwide every year—and road crashes are currently the leading cause of death for people aged 5–29 years. Further, unprotected road users (e.g., pedestrians and cyclists) are overrepresented in crash statistics. The current situation calls for more research investigating road-user behaviour, to support the design of active safety systems and driving automation systems that may help improve safety. With the aim to enhance knowledge on this topic, on successful completion of this school, graduates should be able to:
- Explain the importance of analysing and modelling road-user behaviour to improve road safety.
- Illustrate different approaches to modelling road-user behaviour for system development.
- Compute relevant quantitative and qualitative metrics in order to analyse and model road-user behaviour.
- Identify and experience the challenges in the analysis of real-traffic data from naturalistic studies.
- Compare the currently available tools for the virtual evaluation of active safety systems.
