Title: MEASURING DRIVER PERFORMANCE IN BRAKING MANEUVERS
Accession Number: 00732281
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A simple, reliable instrumentation package with an on-board computer for installation in a test vehicle or the test driver's own vehicle is described. This package was used in a research project recently completed, an empirical investigation of stopping sight distance. Selected data on perception-response time (PRT) and braking performance under artificial and simulated on-the-road emergency conditions are presented. PRTs were less than the AASHTO assumed constant of 2.5 sec even at the 95th percentile. Braking performance in terms of steady deceleration was greater than -0.32 g at the 95th percentile.
