ATTENTION: IEEE ITSS members will receive a free workshops day only registration.
Scope and Topics:
With the development of intelligent vehicles, various novel methods and algorithms have been developed for interactive behaviors modelling in highly dynamic scenarios. The complicated, critical and interactive conditions in the highway and urban scenarios bring a higher demand on precisely formulating, modelling and understanding behaviors of heterogeneous traffic participants. Meanwhile, when driving on the road, intelligent vehicles often interact with other road users socially via implicit communications. It brings a great challenge for the modelling of social interactions among participants. There have been lots of approaches proposed for social, interactive and safe behaviors modelling and prediction. The explorations cover a broad range of techniques and efforts from different aspects, such as graph-based representation (e.g., graph neural network), mechanism modelling, and adaptive methods (transferable driver behavior learning). The progress also includes the development in benchmark datasets (e.g., INTERACTION Dataset) and simulated environments (e.g., highway-envs). Different methods have their particular advantages and characteristics, which are applied in diverse domains and scenarios. This workshop focuses on the discussion of above aspects, including contributions to methodology (graph learning, model adaptation, mechanism modelling, etc.) and development of toolkit (simulated environment and benchmark).
Researchers in related areas from academia and industry are invited to submit extended abstracts (at least 3-pages long with conference template) or full papers to be presented in the format of spotlight presentation and poster presentation.
The topics of interest within the scope of this workshop include, but not limited to, the following:
Benchmarks on social, interactive and safe behavior prediction for intelligent vehicles;
Novel methods or models on social, interactive and safe behavior prediction for intelligent vehicles;
New applications for social, interactive and safe behaviors modelling;
Transferable and continual driver behavior learning;
The development and evaluation of simulation environments for multi-agent interactive behavior modelling;
Interpretability and generalizability of behavior modeling algorithms;
Novel testing and validation methods in highly interactive and dynamic scenarios;

Human factors in intelligent vehicle systems;
The application and deployment of novel algorithms on the intelligent vehicle platform;
Systematic survey or review for social, interactive and safe behavior modelling.
