Abstract
In this paper, a system following the forward vehicle automatically in all speed range is considered. As the control logic of this system, the method based on automatic control theories such as PID control is usually considered. When humans, however, actually get on the vehicle, the control logic has to be friendly to them. One of the solutions is to apply driver manner without negative properties such as the reaction time to the control logic. In this research, therefore, the driver model for acceleration and deceleration without the negative properties is devised and applied to the automatic vehicle following system with all speed range. Simulation work clarities the characteristics of the proposed driver model.
