“…In the field of driving action description several clear-cut situations have been studied exhaustively: lane following (Fenton, 1988;Mammar et al, 2006), car following at a safe distance (Gipps, 1981;Olstam et al, 2004), lane change (Gipps, 1986;Salvucci et al, 2007). For lane following on a curved road an extensive theory has been developed, mainly based on control engineering approaches (Hsu et al, 1998;Yuhara et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2006;Mammar et al, 2006). Yet speed control (so called longitudinal control), including speed on curves, has only been studied extensively from a car stability perspective (Jin et al, 2007;Hel et al, 2007;Song, 2008).…”
