Abstract
Recent mathematical descriptions of the human operator in control systems are reviewed. Available models are shown to have certain shortcomings when applied to automobile driving. It is proposed that “self-pacing” and “programed-transient” behavior are requisite to satisfactory characterization of the driver.
