“…The in¯uence of the steering system parameters such as its¯exibility and its inertia on the modes of motion of the free-control automobile was then assessed [6]. Researchers later conducted a study on the lateral¯exibility of the steering system using a combined steering and vehicle equations of motion [6,7]. They also investigated the in¯uence of other parameters such as the vehicle forward speed on the vibrational and dynamic behaviors of the steering system.…”

“…The feed-forward behaviour is obviously independent of vehicle tracking errors. Allen et al (1987Allen et al ( , 1996Allen et al ( , 2002 called this behaviour 'pursuit behaviour'. Pursuit behaviour is based on the perception of an upcoming horizontal road curvature, and the driver can match the curvature with the appropriate steering angle command.…”

“…Some tracking errors from the target path always exist and human drivers respond to such errors. Allen et al (1987Allen et al ( , 1996Allen et al ( , 2002 called this behaviour 'compensatory action.' Even though human drivers depend more on feed-forward steering, they try to eliminate the errors recognising these.…”

“…Both these models have guided many researchers in understanding human-driver behaviour. Allen et al (1987Allen et al ( , 1996Allen et al ( , 2002 has divided human steering characteristics into pursuit and compensatory behaviour. The pursuit behaviour steering command is determined as the driver recognises a road curvature independent of errors from a desired road, while the compensatory action is related to the efforts at eliminating errors like lane or speed deviation.…”

There have been several studies aiming to develop a realistic driver model in accordance with the increased interest in vehicle safety issues and in computer simulation for a vehicle design. This study is especially considering the human driver's steering process; path planning, feed-forward steering, and preview feedback steering. Important human factors, such as the view angle and the neuromuscular system, are also regarded. The suggested driver model is simulated based on the CarSim vehicle model in a Simulink environment. The simulation results are then compared to the actual vehicle test data and to the driving simulator test data with regard to the four human driver levels. The driver model suggested in this study represents the human steering behaviour and well matches the real vehicle test data.

“…The path-control module generates wheel movements to regulate lateral placement (path) by following commands generated by the path decision component. With the exception that the driver does not attempt path error reductions below some acceptable tolerance, a fully linear strategy uses a successive loop-closure technique based on a gain-crossover model (6). This strategy subdivides the control task into a series of subtasks, where, at each step, the system to be controlled is approximated by the combination of an effective pure delay τ, an integration, and a scale factor K v .…”

The Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) is a high-priority research area for FHWA. IHSDM is a software system for evaluating the safety of alternative highway designs in a computer-aided design environment. The initial phase of this research program is to develop IHSDM for use in the design of two-lane rural highways. IHSDM includes a driver-vehicle module that simulates the moment-to-moment actions of a single driver-vehicle unit. Reviewed are the computational approaches that have guided the implementation of the driver performance model (DPM) that along with a vehicle model and other components constitute the driver-vehicle module. Five major computational functions of DPM are reviewed: perception, speed decision, path decision, speed control, and path control. Comparison of model results with data from a driving simulator demonstrates the ability of DPM to account for the horizontal curve deflection angle on the speed profile.
