A control theoretic model of driver steering dynamics is developed which can produce driver/vehicle steering responses which copmpare favorable with those obtained from driver simulation. The model is simple enough to be used by engineers who may not be manual control specialists. The model contains both review and compensatory steering dynamics. An analytical technique for vehicle handling qualities assessment is briefly discussed. Driver/vehicle responses from tow driving tasks evaluated in a driver simulator are used to evaluate the overall validity of the driver/vehicle model. Finally, the model is exercised in predicitve fashion in the computer simulation of a lane keeping task on a curving roadway where the simulated vehicle possessed one of thre different steering systems: a classical two-wheel steering system ans a pair of four-wheel steering systems.
