THIS PAPER SUMMARIZES A RESEARCH TASK DIRECTED TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE BPR-CAL COMPUTER SIMULATION OF AUTOMOBILE DYNAMICS. IN PARTICULAR, A NONLINEAR MODEL OF DRIVER BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN FORMULATED AND INCORPORATED INTO A "NONCOLLISION" VERSION OF THE VEHICLE SIMULATION. THE NONLINEAR FORMULATIONS HAVE BEEN AIMED AT PRODUCING A CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL MECHANISM SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE INVESTIGATION OF DRIVER BEHAVIOR IN EMERGENCY AND PRECOLLISION SITUATIONS, SPECIFICALLY THOSE SITUATIONS INVOLVING MANEUVERS AT OR NEAR THE LIMITS OF VEHICLE AND DRIVER CONTROL. THE DEVELOPED MODEL IS DESCRIBED, AND ITS RESPONSES ARE DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
