USE OF STRESS IN PART-TASK DRIVING SIMULATORS - A PRELIMINARY STUDY
TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING STRESS IN DRIVING SIMULATOR RESEARCH, DRIVERS WERE SUBJECTED TO CONTINUOUS GLARE WHILE PERFORMING A SERIES OF TASKS IN AN INSTRUMENTED VEHICLE ON A SPECIALLY DESIGNED TEST TRACK. THE TASKS INCLUDED KEEPING WITHIN A 7-FT LANE AT 20 MPH, MAINTAINING A CONSTANT HEADWAY AND ESTIMATING TIME TO COINCIDENCE WITH AN APPROACHING OR OVERTAKING VEHICLE. METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN DRIVER RESEARCH WERE EXAMINED. /AUTHOR/
