Reinterpreting Safety Thresholds as Neuron Spiking Thresholds 文章

arXiv:2605.30368v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Surrogate Safety Measures (SSMs) are extensively utilised in the evaluation of traffic risk in automated driving contexts. However, the majority of SSM-based evaluations employ fixed thresholds that fail to capture the human response to sustained borderline conditions or the reaction to brief, high-risk peaks. The present work proposes a biologically inspired reinterpretation of SSM thresholds. This is modelled as spiking thresholds of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, with multiple SSM inputs combined into a spiking neural network (SNN). The SNN is trained to emit spikes that are aligned with human braking onsets. The training data was recorded in a controlled car-following experiment using the 3D-CoAutoSim platform with CARLA/Unreal and a 6-DOF motion platform, where induced critical events were generated.
