Abstract
Understanding the formation of accidents is of major importance to the automotive industry, its related businesses and policymakers. This is not a trivial task considering the current stream of innovations driven by the development of autonomous vehicles. Historical accident data are inadequate for gauging the safety of future traffic systems. To cope with this challenge, we propose a microscopic traffic model that introduces small errors due to random misperception as an omnipresent cause for accidents - an issue affecting both human drivers and control systems of autonomous vehicles. We model errors dynamically by stochastic processes and investigate their impact on the safety and the efficiency of traffic systems by Monte Carlo simulations. We focus on two case studies: a simple one-lane road segment and a t-junction with turning vehicles.
