EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF SIMULATED VEHICLE STEERING AND SAFETY TRAINING

AN EXPERIMENTAL FEEDBACK ANALYSIS WAS MADE OF THE HUMAN FACTORS IN STEERING, DRIVER TRAINING, AND AUTOMOBILE SAFETY RELATIVE TO THE THEORY THAT STEERING IS A DISTINCTIVE FORM OF SELF-GUIDED ACTIVITY DISTINCT FROM STIMULUS TRACKING, AND THAT THE AUTOMOBILE IS A SPECIAL KIND OF WHEELED EXOSKELETON. RESULTS OF SYSTEMS EXPERIMENTS ON DELAYED SIMULATED DRIVING, EYE-HAND SYNCHRONISM IN DELAYED STEERING, COMPARISON BETWEEN EYE-HAND COORDINATION IN STEERING AND STIMULUS TRACKING, EFFECTS OF ROAD SPEED ON STEERING ERROR, AND EFFECTS OF SPACE DISPLACEMENT OF STEERING VISUAL FEEDBACK SUPPORTED THE VIEW THAT THE OPERATOR PROJECTS STEERING ACTION RELATIVE TO THE SPACE, TIME, AND FORCES COMPLIANCES BETWEEN DRIVING RESPONSES, AND THE ACTIONS OF THE EXOSKELETON MACHINE IN RELATION TO THE FEEDBACK RECEIVED FROM THE ROAD DISPLAY. /AUTHOR/
