The Altair Driver is a module included in the installation which simulates the performance of the driver of a vehicle.  The driver model senses various inputs of the state of the vehicle, as well as constant vehicle parameters, and outputs signals back to the vehicle.  These signals include the input to the steering system, the driveline system, and the braking system.  

The documentation included in the following topics will cover the driver controllers for the three aforementioned systems, as well as an overview of the mathematical approach to the model:

Steer Controller

Drive Torque Controller

Brake Torque Controller
