The paper investigates the selection of optimal target variables for black-box models, such as LSTM, GP, and Kernel Ridge Regression, used to model car following behavior. Unlike classical car following models like GIPPS and IDM, these black-box models do not rely on wise selection of target variables. The study evaluates different target variables, including acceleration, velocity, and headway, for each model type. The results show that the optimal target variable recommendations differ depending on the objective function and vector space used by the model. This research contributes to a better understanding of how to choose effective target variables for black-box models in car following applications.

The paper looks at which numbers to focus on when using special computer programs (called black-box models) to study how cars follow each other. These programs are different from usual car-following models because they don’t need to make smart choices about what numbers to look at. The researchers tried out different important numbers, like acceleration and speed, with three types of black-box models. They found that the best choice depends on what the model is trying to do and how it works.
