PART-TASK SIMULATION IN DRIVING RESEARCH
RESEARCH ON DRIVER BEHAVIOR IS PERFORMED TO LEAD TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNDERLYING BEHAVIORAL PROCESSES THAT DEFINE DRIVING. THE PART-TASK FACILITY IS LESS A SIMULATOR THAN A LABORATORY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE DRIVING TASK. IT IS DESIGNED AS A MEANS FOR DIRECTLY TESTING CONCEPTUAL AND EXPERIMENTAL MODELS OF DRIVING PROCESSES. EXPLICIT MODELING ASSUMPTIONS WERE MADE OF VARIOUS ASPECTS OF DRIVER BEHAVIOR TO BE LABORATORY TESTED USING DYNAMIC STIMULUS MATERIAL.
