Driving Risk and Intervention: Subjective Risk Lane Change Dataset

When developing truly driverless mobility for the future, one key index used to measure the matureness of a particular self-driving technology is the driver intervention rate. One method which has proven to be effective for decreasing intervention rates is the use of personalized driving models that can mimic the driving style and preferences of a targeted user, so that autonomous driving feels safer and more natural to them. To create such models, quantitative data should be collected from users in order to determine the style of driving that a particular user, or type of user, prefers. In this paper, we introduce the Subjective Risk Lane Change (SRLC) Dataset, which includes ego vehicle driving behavior data, surrounding vehicle location information, and the subjective risk scores of users, collected during both safe and risky lane change scenarios encountered in CARLA simulators, as well as demographic information for our 30 participants. Furthermore, user intervention data for all of our participants was collected from Personalized Model Predictive Controllers during the generated lane change maneuvers. As far as the authors are able to determine, no other public dataset provides driving behavior signal and intervention timing information collected during driver interventions. Our dataset can be used to gain insights into a variety of personal driving styles, allowing the improvement of adaptive autonomous driving systems, and leading to safer and more widely accepted driverless technology.
