Generic Driving Behavior Modeling by Differential Game Theory

In the last few decades, a number of driving models aiming at modeling the longitudinal and lateral driving tasks have been put forward based on the analogy with self-driven many particle systems. Examples of such models are the social-forces type models for car-following behavior [1], the IDM (Intelligent Driver Model) and its modifications [2], and the MOBIL model [3] describing lane-changing behavior. Although these models can describe many phenomena in motorway traffic flow operations, a clear behavioral foundation has however been lacking so far.
