Abstract
This article summarizes the scholarly profile of Nongrui Qin, whose work addresses decision-making for autonomous vehicles through data-driven methods. The researcher is a co-author of an open-access article on multi-stage social value orientation-based lane-changing, published in Advanced Intelligent Systems in 2026 [2].
Keywords
Data science, analytics, autonomous vehicles, lane-changing, social value orientation, intelligent systems.
Introduction
Autonomous driving requires vehicles to interact safely with other road users whose behavior varies. Social value orientation, a concept from social psychology, describes how much an agent weighs its own outcomes against those of others, and it has been applied to interaction-aware planning for vehicles [3]. Research in this area aims to make lane-changing maneuvers safer, smoother, and more predictable in mixed traffic.
Research Profile
Nongrui Qin is affiliated with Dalian University of Technology, and the Scopus record lists one document, zero citations, and an h-index of zero [1]. These figures reflect an early career stage, and the subject area is recorded as Data Science and Analytics.
Research Contributions
The researcher contributed to a study on multi-stage, social value orientation-based lane-changing for autonomous vehicles [2]. The principal themes of the work include:
- Modeling social preferences within vehicle interactions.
- Structuring lane-changing decisions into sequential stages.
- Applying data-driven methods to autonomous driving behavior.
Publications
Qin, N., Cai, L., Luo, Y., Yue, M., & Guan, H. (2026). Multi-Stage Social Value Orientation-Based Lane-Changing Driving for Autonomous Vehicles. Advanced Intelligent Systems. The article is open access [2].
Research Impact
As a recent publication, the article has not yet accumulated citations [1]. Its open-access status supports wider readership, and related studies on social value orientation suggest continuing interest in the topic across intelligent vehicle research [3].
Award Suitability
The nomination for the Best Scholar Award under the International Soil Scientist Awards recognizes emerging scholarship and the application of data science and analytics to complex systems. The researcher’s publication in an international journal, together with institutional affiliation and a verifiable Scopus record, supports consideration within this category [1].
Conclusion
Nongrui Qin is an early-career researcher at Dalian University of Technology whose work on socially aware lane-changing contributes to research on autonomous vehicle decision-making [2]. The recognition acknowledges this contribution and the potential for further research.
