TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - The human element in car following models JO - Transportation research part F: traffic psychology and behaviour A1 - van Winsum, Wim SP - 207 EP - 211 VL - 2 IS - 4 N2 - This commentary distinguishes between the engineering-inspired formalisms used by Brackstone, M., and McDonald, M. (Transportation Research Part F (1999)) and the psychological knowledge of, and assumptions about human behaviour when car following. It outlines a preliminary mathematical model, based on psychological knowledge about car following behaviour by human drivers, which could be applied in traffic engineering, as a means of bringing these two ways of studying car following closer together.
