Abstract: In the paper we describe the process of development and verification of the novel traffic simulation method based on a credible driver model. The model is based on the actions of real drivers recorded in series of experiments. The developed simulation method reflects the unpredictable and totally individual characteristics of individual drivers. We show that the characteristics is a very significant factor in overall traffic efficiency. We believe that our credible driver model may become a basis for novel traffic management systems and active-safety mechanisms installed in the vehicles.
