“…So, it is simply observed that vision is very important and the exact level of importance can likely vary depending upon the specific driving scenario and task conditions. For example, during straight-line driving in crosswind conditions, drivers are likely to increase their dependence upon yaw motion and lateral accelerations due to wind disturbances [42,46]. This would tend to activate and increase driver utilization of vestibular rotary motion information, vestibular lateral acceleration cues, and kinesthetic ''seat-of-the-pants'' (somatosensory) feedback sensations.…”

This paper examines the role of the human driver as the primary control element within the traditional driver-vehicle system. Lateral and longitudinal control tasks such as path-following, obstacle avoidance, and headway control are examples of steering and braking activities performed by the human driver. Physical limitations as well as various attributes that make the human driver unique and help to characterize human control behavior are described. Example driver models containing such traits and that are commonly used to predict the performance of the combined driver-vehicle system in lateral and longitudinal control tasks are identified.

“…In many cases, motivation for understanding and modeling the driver may be primarily related to achieving improvements in vehicle design per se, insofar as an interactive, or cause and effect, relationship is recognized between the vehicle and the driver [28,38,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”
