Learning driving behavior is fundamental for autonomous vehicles to “understand” traffic situations. This paper proposes a novel method for learning a behavioral model of car-following using automata learning algorithms. The model is interpretable for car-following behavior analysis. Frequent common state sequences are extracted from the model and clustered as driving patterns. The Next Generation SIMulation dataset on the I-80 highway is used for learning and evaluating. The experimental results demonstrate high accuracy of car-following model fitting.
