A simplified diagram of a feedback control model of driving has the driver (GD) receiving information from an external source (VK) and performing some control action on the vehicle (GV), resulting in the controlled output(C). Regulation of the output with respect to the input occurs through the driver's feedback sensors(HD) so that correction at (GD) may be made. If the elements are related linearly, an algebraic expression of the input to controlled output which reflects both driver and vehicle dynamics may be obtained. It involves the following steps: (a) determination of vehicular dynamics without the driver, i.e., open-loop characteristics of the vehicle, and (b) determination of system dynamics, i.e., characteristics which include both the vehicle and the driver. Under the assumption of linearity, differences between (a) and (b) may be attributed to the driver. The analysis is directed to the determination of the transfer function of the driver. As an initial attempt, a comparatively simple case of driving, deceleration, was used for experimental verification. (Author)
