Abstract: There will be a long time when automated vehicles are mixed with human-driven vehicles. Understanding how drivers assess driving risks and modelling their individual differences are significant for automated vehicles to develop human-like and customized behaviors, so as to gain people's trust and acceptance. However, the reality is that existing driving risk models are developed at a statistical level, and no one scenario-universal driving risk measure can correctly describe risk perception differences among drivers. We proposed a concise yet effective model, called Potential Damage Risk (PODAR) model, which provides a universal and physically meaningful structure for driving risk estimation and is suitable for general non-collision and collision scenes. In this paper, based on an open-accessed dataset collected from an obstacle avoidance experiment, four physical-interpretable parameters in PODAR, including prediction horizon, damage scale, temporal attenuation, and spatial attention, are calibrated and consequently individual risk perception models are established for each driver. The results prove the capacity and potential of PODAR to model individual differences in perceived driving risk, laying the foundation for autonomous driving to develop human-like behaviors.
