Abstract

A theory is presented of how a driver might visually control his braking. It is shown how the driver could, in principle, use visual information about time-to-collision in registering when he is on a collision course, in judging when to start braking, and controlling his ongoing braking. Implications of the theory for safe speeds and safe following distances are discussed.
