STUDIES OF THE DRIVER AS A CONTROL ELEMENT - PHASE 3

THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO STUDY DRIVER RESPONSE AND PERFORMANCE IN FOUR TYPICAL DRIVING TASKS WHILE DRIVING EACH OF FOUR SIMULATED VEHICLES WITH A RANGE OF DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS. FIVE YOUNG MALE ENGINEERING STUDENTS, WITH PREVIOUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, WERE USED AS EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECTS. THE COLLECTED DATA AND THE ANALYSIS OF THAT DATA CONTRIBUTE TOWARD UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF THE DRIVER CONTROL PROCESS. IN ORDER TO FACILITATE ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION, THE COLLECTED DATA HAVE BEEN PRESENTED IN THE FORM OF TABLES AND CHARTS. /AUTHOR/
