Abstract

The study presents a brief description of driver models found in the literature. Despite the large number of models, in the case of pre-accident situations the existing driver models cannot be successfully used to reconstruct driver behaviour. A driver model adequate to this type of situation has been proposed. The scenario of a pre-accident situation has been described briefly. The article aims to present the results of identification of the driver model parameters on the basis of the results of track tests. An analysis of the obtained characteristics of the turning angle and deceleration has been made. The drivers studied have been divided into groups according to similar types of reactions. The identification has been conducted for the pre-defined four driver groups. Values and reaction time linear regression equations have been specified for braking and wheel turns on the track. The results of identification of the remaining model parameters on the basis of test results have been presented. (Author/publisher)
