Abstract

A preview prediction model is used to describe the potential role of a fixed control strategy in automobile driving. On the basis of this model the time-to-line-crossing (TLC) concept was developed, representing the time necessary for the vehicle to reach either edge of the driving lane. An experiment on straight road driving was conducted to analyze whether TLC would be helpful to understand a driver's strategy in an occlusion task. The results indicate a close correspondence between TLC and driver's self-chosen occlusion times. In addition to conventional measures such as lateral position data, TLC seems a valuable description of driving performance.
