Abstract
A rule violation leading to a traffic conflict involving a vehicle and at least one agent in real-time driving scenarios, simulation, re-simulation or other application is determined to be the fault of the vehicle by determining whether the situation was 'reasonably foreseeable,' determining whether the at least one agent is a vulnerable road user (VRU) and determining whether the at least one agent violated a higher priority rule than the rule violated by the vehicle. In an embodiment, on-vehicle decisions are based on a rulebook with a priority structure that accounts for responsibility and determines an “initiator” of the traffic conflict based on whether the vehicle or the at least one agent was the first to violate a rule and the first to violate a higher priority rule.
