Abstract: The behavior recognition of surrounding vehicles is very important to improve the decision-making rationality and the control safety for driverless cars. Traditional methods of surrounding vehicle’s behavior recognition suffer from low accuracy and poor robustness, without considering the interaction between adjacent traffic objects. In order to solve these problems, SLSTMAT (Social-LSTM-Attention) algorithm is proposed to achieve high accuracy for surrounding vehicle’s behavior recognition. The social characteristics of target vehicle are innovatively introduced and extracted by convolutional neural network. Based on deep learning,the recognition model for vehicle behavior is established. Attention mechanism is applied to capture multiple time-step information in the behavior time window. The algorithm is verified by HighD trajectory data set and real vehicle data. The results show that the accuracy rate of SLSTMAT for surrounding vehicle’s behavior recognition reaches 94.01%, and the precision of behavior recognition reaches 90% at 1s before the target vehicle driving to the lane change point, which has high engineering application value
