Abstract
Most of the available vehicle control models are based on the assumption that the automobile driver acts as an error correcting mechanism with continuous attention allocated to the steering task. Based on a preview-predictor model the Time-to-Line Crossing (TLC) description was developed to quantify the potential role of error-neglection strategies in driving. In the present analysis TLC was applied to describe steering through a curve. The TLC analysis appears particularly suited to describe the quality of the anticipatory steering action and may serve as general description of curve driving.
