Human-in-the-Loop Control Theory Human input Not completely predictable In certain scenarios, can be somewhat predicted Can we develop control algorithms to keep systems safe while incorporating nominal human input?
Past Work Autonomous cars Semi-autonomous cars
Contributions Develop a model for the driver using data learned over time Apply this model to semi-autonomous cars and intervention Illustrate that incorporating human behavior improves the performance of a semi-autonomous architecture Vasudevan R. , Shia V. , et al.

Experimental Setup
Models : Results • Model 1: current techniques (no driver modeling) • Model 2: driver model created from past actions and outside environment Model 1 Normal Model 2 Distracted
Models: Metric Accuracy of prediction Precision of prediction Recall of intervention function Precision of intervention function Model 1 1 0. 0031 Model 2 0. 81 0. 82 1 0. 68
Conclusion Driver modeling can improve the performance for the semi-autonomous framework Currently implementing model learning and prediction system in real time
