Driver models: how to avoid critical yaw movements of vehicles
by H.-P. Willumeit
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 18, No. 6, 1997

Abstract: It is shown that most of the driver models combined with models of lateral vehicle dynamics are based on control theory. Because of the nonlinear behaviour of human information processing and motor activities, the linear control theory is not an adequate model tool to describe humans general abilities in reacting in the area of longitudinal and lateral vehicle motions. Psychological motor research gives hints for more human-like modelling in connection with tools like Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Set Theory. Despite the lack of knowledge about so-called 'critical driving situations', the heuristic knowledge of design engineers enables to create a system to detect and to avoid critical yaw movements of passenger cars.
