This article describes a modeling approach to simulate the effects of time-gaps for adaptive cruise Received in revised form 27 June 2011 control (ACC) and manual in-vehicle tasks on bus-driver performance. A concept model was built with Accepted 7 July 2011 the knowledge of modularization, parameterization, and parallel processing. By running the model, the Available online 15 August 2011 predictions for the effects of five levels of time-gaps and two types of in-vehicle tasks were collected in three measures: (1) mean gap, (2) minimum gap, and (3) collision rate. The model performed well Keywords:
