Abstract: The design of driving simulators is common practice within the simulation industry. Normally, the focus is on the modeling of realistic vehicle dynamics models. However, the design of a realistic simulation environment is of equal importance. A human driver usually steers one vehicle, but the rest of the vehicles used in the simulation should be managed by a computer program. In this article, an automatic driver model to be used within the simulation environment, is described. The automatic driver uses the same vehicle dynamics model as the human driver would use. It also uses the vehicle characteristics in such a way to obtain the optimal performance of the vehicle.
