Abstract:

A model for studying and evaluating the performance of drivers in controlling headway situations is currently being used to better understand how a driver's perception of headway range and its rate of change in time (range rate) influence the performance of the driver-vehicle system in freeway driving situations. The model is based upon ideas derived from vehicle dynamics, control theory, and human factors research. It is an interpretive model in the sense that results obtained during real driving are processed to evaluate the parameter values and functional relationships used in the model. In this way, the model evolves as new data and information become available and as calculated results are interpreted and understood.
