Abstract
Steering behaviour of a car on both straight and curved roads is studied by use of the butterfly catastrophe. Adopting the same method with regard to model framework and introduction of psychological aspects with Part I, the main psychological state (w-sense) and four kinds of psychological factor which affect the w-sense are defined. The w-sense is interpreted as a dynamic sense of lateral location on the road associated with steering behaviour. The desire of steering operation is explained by a psychological balance between the driving goal and the current driving state. The steering behaviour model is made combining the submodels of two kinds of world (implicit and explicit) and the interfacial field. In the case of the straight road, two types of steering are defined according to the property of the driving goal; severe steering and easy steering. A simulation of zigzag behaviour on a straight road is done by use of the obtained model. In the case of the curved road, the curved-stable run and the driving programme at the entrance of the curved road are discussed.
