Abstract

9 students in a course on driving behavior drove an instrumented auto through a 110 mile course through Ohio rural roads. They had studied reports of previous experiments on this course involving measures of forward velocity and lateral acceleration. They knew previous performance data and breakaway limits for the vehicle. During the experimental session each student was informed of his lateral G performance for each curve.
When compared with previous experiments using the same course and car, these subjects produced much higher lateral accelerations.
