Abstract
In this paper, we present a new conceptual model of the driver-car-road-environment system based on the theory of functional systems and the hierarchical driver model that consists of three levels that are strategic, tactical and physical levels. In this model, the information interactions at the tactical level of the driver are considered as interactions of multimodal images of actual, desired and current road situations. The proposed concept also includes an attention function that plays a significant role in providing safe driving and demonstrates the importance of cross-modal interactions in perception and cognition while driving. This conceptual model can be used to develop appropriate mathematical models of driving with increased cognitive load to study the mechanisms underlying the driving abilities in a person. Additionally, such mathematical models can be used to develop and investigate new methods to improve professionally important qualities of drivers and the resumption of the driver’s control over the vehicle.
