A MATLAB implementation of the looming accumulation intermittent braking control model described in (Markkula, 2014). This implementation is very similar to what has later been presented in more complete detail in (Svärd et al., 2017; Svärd et al., 2021) and as a more task-general model of sustained intermittent control in (Markkula et al., 2018; code linked here).
