...…or vehicle support systems for safety and automation, quantitative models of driver behavior can be very directly applied, for example in system algorithms or in computer simulations of crashes (e.g., Perel, 1982; Fambro et al. 2000a; MacAdam, 2001; Brännström et al., 2010; Markkula, 2015)....

...From some controlled studies, there are also reports of progressive or step-wise ramping up towards these maximum levels (Prynne and Martin, 1995; Fambro et al., 2000b; Lee et al., 2002)....

...…happens beyond the point of brake onset, it has been reported from both controlled and naturalistic studies that drivers will often, but not always, show maximum deceleration levels c ose to their vehicle’s limits on the given road (McGehee et al., 1999; Fambro et al., 2000b; Lee et al., 2007)....

...The average perception–reaction time is estimated to be 1.25 s, and the age compensation is 0.3 s. Studies by (Fambro et al., 1997; Fambro et al., 2007) have suggested that a 2.5 s delay should be allowed for driver perception and reaction time, and that should cover 90–95% of the cases....

...In some of the research cited earlier, the resulting overall model dynamics was even tractable analytically, so that actual simulation was not needed (Davis, 2007; Fambro et al., 2000; Krishnan et al., 2001; McMillan et al., 2001)....
