DRIVER REQUIREMENTS AND ROAD TRAFFIC INFORMATICS

Initially the driver's role as a link in the driver-vehicle-road- traffic control-chain is discussed in historical perspective. The driver's tasks are analysed. A separation is made between trip planning, navigation, road following, traffic interactions, rule compliance, other than traffic tasks, car handling and speed choice. The relations between and the weights of these subtasks are discussed. Some existing driver behavior models are reviewed in relation to the above mentioned tasks. Finally an effort is made based on the analyses of driver tasks and driver models to specify some general and some more specific potential advantages and problems with expected future RTI-systems.
