For modeling several aspects of driver behavior, such as controllability and information processing, driver, vehicle, and environment are included in a system. The optimal control model was used as the theoretical basis. A vehicle model is developed, which involves longitudinal and transverse dynamics; nonlinear characteristics line for the motor moment and dynamic wheel loading were assumed; peripheral forces were separately calculated for rolling and braking. The street contour was represented in fixed coordinates with a parameter dependent curvature variation. The driver was assumed to have an internal model of the effects of his actions and to be able to estimate distances and relative angle variations; he must have a spatial representation of observed objects location and their relative position. Modern cognitive psychology theories were used for describing information subjective interpretation and its consequences on information processing modeling. Measured data used for model validation were extracted from tests of rally driver performances. It is concluded that the model is a powerful simulation tool for engineers, as far as it allows standard maneuvers to be represented.
