CAIDM: Context Aware Intelligent Driver Model

Researchers present a novel approach to incorporate context awareness into the existing Intelligent Driver Model (IDM). Specifically the proposed model would like to introduce new context aware parameters to make the car following model adapted with real life scenario. Researchers would like to concentrate on the environment conditions, driver condition and the type of vehicle. The effectiveness of proposed approach is validated using mathematical calculations and graphs. One of the main improvements that will be brought about by the new proposed system is the context aware parameter. Context awareness for a system is very important as it makes it more informed about the situation where it is being put to use and hence its actions/results are custom made for that particular situation making it very accurate and apt.
