Steering oscillation as an effect of cognitive delay in human drivers

We proposed an approach of applying genetic programming (GP) to automatically develop a driving agent - as a model of a human driver - that optimally steers a realistically simulated car with an instant, non-latent steering response. We verified the hypothesis that introducing a delay in steering response of the evolved model of human driver results in well-expressed steering oscillations. The detection of these oscillations could pave the way for an early-warning of the inadequate cognitive load (as an underlying cause of such delays) of driver in normal driving conditions - well before an urgent response to an eventual hazardous traffic situation is required.
