ABSTRACT
Traffic simulations become more and more relevant for the development of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) and algorithms for automated driving. As in real traffic, small changes in the initial conditions can produce a large difference in the result. This phenomenon can only be reproduced in a simulation if the driving behaviour patterns reflect the human driver behaviour closely. In the past decades many driver models where developed with special focuses on different specific elements of the driving task. The literature review, the analysis of existing driver model concepts and in particular the research work in the DESERVE project shows that it is not possible to create one holistic driver model to satisfy all scientific needs. In general, the units have a fixed route calculated or set in the initialisation of the simulation. In reality a driver changes the route under circumstances, e.g., traffic jams or road blocks.
