Learning from Shared-Control Overrides: Context-Driven Acceleration Profile Prediction for Personalized Overtaking

The paper introduces Context-driven Personalized ACC (CoP-ACC), a data‑driven framework that learns from drivers’ throttle overrides to tailor Adaptive Cruise Control behavior. It uses unsupervised clustering to identify representative acceleration profiles, a context classifier to select the appropriate profile based on pre‑maneuver conditions, and a residual regressor to smooth the final profile. Evaluations on real‑world public‑road data show that CoP-ACC reconstructs driver‑expected acceleration patterns more accurately than a standard forced‑ACC baseline, suggesting it can reduce manual interventions and improve ride comfort.

Proactive Road Safety Intervention in Australia: Predicting Risky Driving Hotspots from Connected Vehicle Data

The paper proposes a proactive approach to road safety in Greater Sydney by using connected vehicle telemetry to predict risky driving events before crashes occur. It quantifies risky driving with g‑force thresholds and builds spatio‑temporal heatmaps to locate high‑risk zones. Eight predictive models were compared, with ARIMA achieving the lowest error and showing that simple time‑series methods can rival deep learning when data are limited, highlighting the value of IoT data for targeted safety interventions.

MPCFormer: A physics-informed data-driven approach for explainable socially-aware autonomous driving

MPCFormer is a physics‑informed, data‑driven framework that explicitly models multi‑vehicle social interaction dynamics for autonomous driving. It uses a Transformer‑based encoder‑decoder to learn discrete state‑space dynamics from naturalistic data, enabling explainable, human‑like behavior planning within a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework. In open‑loop NGSIM tests, it achieves the lowest trajectory prediction errors (ADE 0.86 m over 5 s), and in closed‑loop intense interaction scenarios it attains a 94.67 % planning success rate, 15.75 % efficiency gain, and reduces collisions from 21.25 % to 0.5 %.
