Summary:

This paper describes control system and psychological concepts enabling the development of a simulation model suitable for use in emulating driver performance in situations involving the longitudinal control of the distance and headway-time to a preceding vehicle. The developed model has mathematical expressions and relationships pertaining to the driver's skill in operating the brake and accelerator ("inverse dynamics") and the driver's perceptual and decision-making capabilities ("desired dynamics"). Simulation results for driving situations involving braking and accelerating are presented to aid in understanding the research work
