Abstract

In recent time a single comprehensive model for driver behaviour has been developed using potential theory of the robot motion planning. These models, at present, do not have any mechanism for calibrating their parameters. In this thesis an attempt is made to develop a mechanism which can be used to calibrate the parameters of these models. Results using the proposed mechanism show that the proposed mechanism can form the ground work for the larger and more extensive calibration mechanism for the potential field theory based model of driver behaviour.
