Comprehensive understanding of infant behavior is required to prevent infant accidents in the home. We are developing a system to simulate infant behavior and accidents in virtual space to comprehensively understand infant behavior and accidents. We model infant grasping achievement in daily life, focusing on interaction with objects as a basic function of the infant behavior simulator we are developing. Grasping achievement refers to behavior in which an infant sees an object, approaches it, and grasps it. We classified elements related to infant behavior into developmental behavior, which is an internal factor, and environmental interest induction, which is an external factor. We created models by representing these factors in a stochastic form based on the knowledge on developmental behavior, which is known in the medicine field, and our new findings on environmental interest induction, which was obtained from infant observation. We integrated these models in a stochastic manner to create a grasping achievement model. We validated this model by comparing data on infant behavior with simulation results using the grasping achievement model.

In recent years, the simulation of personal car driver behavior has attracted increasing attention in recent research works. Such works are based on models and systems derived from social and psychological studies. The complexity of the simulation of such systems is due to the need for modeling driver behavior and the integration of psychological and physiological factors that can affect driver performance. Although there is only a limited number of models that have been proposed to simulate driver behavior, most of them suffer from limitations pertaining to the integration of some factors, an inadequacy that will be discussed in this paper. This investigation work focuses on the development of a new model for driver behavior simulation based on recent physiological and psychological theories. The model aims to reproduce the driver behavior with respect to some psychological factors. An experimental framework is also presented to build the simulation model. This article concludes by describing some examples of use or application of the suggested model.
