“…Note that, in comparison to the proposed lateral vehicle model, the aforementioned model is a special case when l 1 = l 2 = 1 (or h(t) = 0). Since the lateral vehicle models found in the literature are delay-free [10], [11], [21], [22], [24], [35], a direct comparison with the proposed time delay model may be unfair. Because of that, a general comparison in terms of time-varying delay may be more significant, and it is done in this paper, where a delayfree lateral model and a time-varying delay lateral vehicle model have been compared in Section V.…”
