Simple Simulation of Driver Performance for Prediction and Design Analysis

  • Chapter

Abstract

The ability to model and predict Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) with consistent approaches is a crucial aspect of modern technological systems, where the consideration for the presence of humans in control of systems is necessary at design level as well as during production and implementation processes. A reliable and realistic approach that enables to anticipate what will be “done” at different levels of cognition and behaviour by a human being, enables the prevention of erroneous or risky behaviour, as well the implementation of means of intervention exploiting the power of modern technologies and the decision making skill of humans.
