PRELIMINARY REPORT ON A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF CAR DRIVING
This report describes a computer model of car driving which has been developed to assess the fuel-saving potential of various economy measures. The model incorporates driver behaviour as a central feature and has been designed for easy validation against results from instrumented cars. The report outlines the basic concepts of the model, preliminary calibration and validation and also some initial applications. /Author/TRRL/
