In order to augment safety and comfort for the driver more and more driver information and support systems are being developed and applied in modern vehicles. This means in many cases that parts of the driving task are taken over by some kind of automatic system. However, this new quality of human-machine interaction makes it necessary to consider more than before cognitive and individual characteristics in driver behavior. One reason lies in the fact that every driver is different and that for optimum assistance a system should be able to adapt to the needs and wishes of any particular driver at any time. Another reason is the necessity to predict the effects of the employment of driver assistance on overall traffic safety and efficiency. For this purpose, and of course to study design variants of assistant systems, traffic simulations can be conducted. To render results more life-like and investigate different situations as easily as possible it is desirable to include different driver types. In this paper a driver model with individual characteristics is presented that can be used for simulations of different vehicles and vehicle equipment in a typical traffic situation. The modelled driver behaviour depends both on situational knowledge and internal dispositions described by a number of motives that account for individual differences.
