Resolving space-sharing conflicts in road user interactions through uncertainty reduction: An active inference-based computational model

arXiv:2604.19838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how road users resolve space-sharing conflicts is important both for traffic safety and the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. While existing models have captured specific aspects of such interactions (e.g., explicit communication), a theoretically-grounded computational framework has been lacking. In this paper, we extend a previously developed active inference-based driver behavior model to simulate interactive behavior of two
