Resumé: This PhD offer is part of the works conducted on driving automation but we will focus here on autonomous urban driving. It involves integrating the human behavior in the autonomous vehicle control strategy. This cognitive-founded strategy called 'Daring' consists in having a behavior close to the one of a human drive in order to manage some tricky situations. For example, situations where it has to force the passage, and other situations where it has to impose certain behaviors to other users in conflictual situations. The scientific objective is to study and model the behavior of human drivers in their interaction with other road users to replicate similar behaviors in maneuvers and trajectories planning and in the autonomous control strategy. This is especially necessary in some specific situations requiring the automated system forces the passage for example, or impose a certain behavior to another road user to avoid standing still on the road. It also involves the prediction of the behavior of other road users and their trajectories before and after the strategy of 'Daring'. Work should integrate the driving rules including the respect of driving priorities. The PhD candidate will have to propose original ideas on the stated problems, especially in modeling and implementing a human driver behavior in the autonomous system using embedded perception (image processing, Lidars data processing, ultrasound, radar, etc.).
