Abstract: Studying driver behaviors has become a major concern for the transportation community, businesses, and the public. Thus, based on the simulation, we proposed an adaptive driving model in the car-following driving behavior and based on the normative behavior of the driver during decision-making and anticipation, whose intention is to ensure the objectives of imitation of ordinary human behavior and road safety. The presented model is based on a software agent paradigm to model a human driver and the Fuzzy Logic Theory to reflect the driver agent’s reasoning. To validate our model, we used the dataset from the program of the US Federal Highway Administration. In this context, we notice an excellent homogeneity in the deviation of the adopted trajectory of the autonomous driver agent from the adopted trajectories by the human drivers. Moreover, the advantage of our model is that it works with different velocities.
