Driver-Vehicle-Lateraldynamics under Regular Driving Conditions

SUMMARY

In order to minimize accidents and achieve comfortable handling it is necessary to analyse the control behaviour of the driver-vehicle system and adapt the vehicle to the driver. However, most of the tests have shown, that under normal driving conditions the driver adapts himself to the vehicle, which is exactly the other way round as it was originally thought. In this paper it would be shown, how the driver adapts himself to the vehicle and which technical parameters may effect this adaptation.
