Abstract

We have examined the adequacy of an uncertainty model providing information about the information densities of the road for the Bryar Motorsport track and have found reasonable results consistent with the earlier findings for Interstate 495. We have undertaken an examination of the notion derived from observations made on Bryar Motorsport track that there might be a constancy of distance traversed during visual occlusion, irrespective of speed, and have found this hypothesis untenable. However, rational explanation based both on perceptual errors and variation in time available for forgetting have been brought forward as mechanisms for explaining this result. And, we have explored two different conditions involving changes in vehicle characteristics.
