Abstract: A system is described to derive local driving behaviors from naturalistic data, which are then incorporated as guidance into the behavioral layer of an Automated Vehicle (AV) for adaptation to local traffic. Moreover, the local driving behaviors are implemented in the AV performance validation process.
