Abstract
Driving the vehicle on a straight line road can be considered as a special case analysis of a Driver Vehicle Environment dynamical system, because, longitudinal vehicle motion means that active driver participates in conditions defined by road and vehicle parameters. In contemporary literature, there are some attempts of modeling the mentioned system in the case of straight line drive, but, so far, there is no generally accepted model of a driver. The problem is more complex due to fact that a very complex motor and transmission behavior must be assumed in dynamic conditions. There are some attempts of modeling the driver as optimal controller and the vehicle in the case of straight line driving, with objective to follow given, frequently variable, vehicle speed.
Keywords: vehicle, driver model, road, optimal controller
