Generalized driver steering model based on similarities in visual-based and optimal preview controls

The paper tackles a problem of modeling a vehicle lateral control performed by human driver. Nowadays, the modeling of driver behavior is a frequently suggested research topic and a lot of different models exist. Here, the steering control models, available in literature are presented and discussed. The similarities in different models are shown and a generalized model is proposed, merging the major different models into the same mathematical structure. Finally, the correspondence of a model is validated using real drivers data collected on a driving simulator.
