Abstract

A novel model of driver steering control is proposed, incorporating models of the driver’s sensory dynamics and limitations. The model is based on the hypothesis that the driver’s steering strategy minimises an internal cost function optimally based on the noisy, delayed information received from the sensory systems. Published results from experiments carried out on pilots were used to identify parameter values for the new model, and to assess the validity of the new modelling approach. The new model was found to fit the results very well, with variance accounted for (VAF) values greater than 90% for all but one trial. The model was found to fit the results almost as well with a single fixed set of parameter values as with separate parameter values for each trial, indicating that a fixed-parameter model is able to predict variations in control behaviour under different conditions.
