1. A method for controlling a vehicle based on a quantified road user behavior, the method comprising;
obtaining samples of road user behavior bii=1n−1,
selecting a subset of the road user behavior samples such that the selected samples follow a pre-determined statistical extreme value distribution, wherein the selecting comprises determining a threshold ζ such that the samples of road user behavior in excess of the threshold ζ, {bi:bi≤ζ},
follow the pre-determined statistical extreme value distribution,
parameterizing the pre-determined statistical extreme value distribution based on the selected samples of road user behavior,
quantifying road user behavior based on the parameterized statistical extreme value distribution, and
controlling the vehicle based on the quantified road user behavior.
