HUMAN THRESHOLDS RELATED TO SIMULATION OF INERTIA FORCES

PROGRESS IN THE INERTIA FORCES SIMULATION ACTIVITY IS REPRESENTED BY CONSTRUCTION OF A MOVING-BASE DEVICE SUB- STITUTING GRAVITY FOR INERTIA FORCE THAT CAN PITCH, ROLL, AND YAW. USING THIS DEVICE, A SERIES OF POSITION JUDGEMENTS WAS OBTAINED FROM DRIVERS AS THEY SAT BEHIND THE WHEEL IN DEVICE AND WERE MOVED TO VARIOUS POSITIONS. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT DRIVERS /AS TESTED/ WERE NOT ABLE TO CLEARLY DISTINGUISH AMONG A VARIETY OF ANGULAR POSITIONS.
