Overview

Field study shows time-to-line crossing quantifies anticipatory steering in curve negotiation, suggesting drivers rely on predictive strategies rather than continuous error correction.

Key Points

To evaluate whether the time-to-line crossing (TLC) metric can quantify anticipatory steering actions and error-neglecting strategies in drivers entering road curves.
Conducted a field study with drivers entering curves with varied curvature profiles and traveling at different speeds.
Tested steering behavior both with normal vision and under the temporary withdrawal of visual feedback.
Applied a preview-predictor vehicle-control model using time-to-line crossing (TLC) to evaluate steering performance.
Drivers initiated anticipatory steering actions based on visual road curvature and internal estimates of vehicle characteristics rather than continuous corrective adjustments.
Time-to-line crossing metrics effectively characterized the timing and quality of anticipatory steering maneuvers across different speeds and visual occlusion conditions.
