Samenvatting
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. When entering a curve, drivers make an anticipatory steering action based on the perceived road curvature and the internal estimate of the vehicle characteristics.
