The impact of the temperament model on the behavior of an autonomous driver
PublikacjaBecause it is generally believed that the personality and temperament of a human driver influence his/her behavior on the road, the article presents a computational model of the temperament of an autonomous agent - a driver. First, a short review of the four ideas of Galen’s temperament in psychology is presented. Temperament traits are grouped into four other sets, one of which is chosen for implementation in the project of integration...

Measures of Functional Reliability of Two-Lane Highways
PublikacjaRural two-lane highways are the most common road type both in Poland and globally. In terms of kilometres, their length is by far greater than that of motorways and expressways. They are roads of one carriageway for each direction, which makes the overtaking of slower vehicles possible only when there is a gap in the stream of traffic moving from the opposite direction. Motorways and express roads are dual carriageways that are...
