ABSTRACT
To address the current limitations of autonomous driving systems in naturally imitating human driving behavior, this study proposes a human-like behavior decision-making model that incorporates driver expectations. Driving expectations refers to a driver's subjective preferences regarding desired speed and following distance. By quantifying the deviation between these expectations and the actual driving state, cumulative dissatisfaction values for speed and car-following distance were introduced as extended features of the model. Typical behavioral and environmental features were selected from the HighD real-world highway trajectory dataset, and a combination of Spearman correlation and random forest importance analysis was employed for feature selection. On this basis, a BiLSTM-attention decision-making model was developed by integrating a bidirectional long short-term memory network and an attention mechanism. In addition, a minimum safety spacing model was incorporated to impose safety constraints on lane-changing behavior. The model was trained and evaluated using the HighD dataset. Experimental results show that it achieved an average prediction accuracy of 94.22% for driving behaviors in highway scenarios, outperforming other models while using fewer features.
