“…In our seminal work [4], we explored the feasibility of applying genetic programming (GP) to automatically develop a driving agent -as a model of a human driver -that optimally steers a realistically simulated car in The Open Source Racing Car Simulator (TORCS) where an instant (non-delayed) response is guaranteed. In addition, we verified our hypothesis that a simulated delay in the steering response of the evolved model of the human driver would result in detectable steering oscillations that could help in providing early warning signs of a driver's inadequate cognitive load.…”

: In this paper, we proposed an approach that uses genetic programming (GP) to automatically develop a driving agent -as a model of a human driver -to optimally steer a realistically simulated car with an instant, non-latent steering response. Using the latter, we tested the hypothesis that introducing a delay in the steering response of an evolved model of a human driver results in well-expressed steering oscillations. We further evaluated the effects of speeding on the steering oscillation and observed that (i) the evolved model of the human driver (driving agent) could robustly control the car driven at various speeds and (ii) the increase in speed results in increase of amplitude of observed steering oscillations. The detection of these oscillations could pave the way for providing early warnings of inadequate driver cognitive load (as an underlying cause of such delays) in normal driving conditions -well before any urgent response to an eventual hazardous traffic situation may be required.
