Abstract

This paper describes a newly developed driver model that focuses on the control of car steering. The model represents visual anticipation of road curvature and compensation of lateral positioning error. It also incorporates a neuromuscular system, inspired by Hoult and Cole (2008), including an internal model of the steering system compliance, muscle co-activation by α and γ signals and the stretch reflex. Preliminary driving simulator experiments with five participants showed that the identification of model parameters yielded consistent results. Moreover, the model was able to steer the driving simulator by itself and showed a behavior similar to that of the human driver who provided the data for parameter identification. This model may be used for the design of automation for shared control of steering.
