Abstract

Two experiments conducted with an instrumented car on closed course test tracks are summarized. Measures of driving accuracy and control use were obtained in a repeated measure design with subjects who were given controlled doses of alcohol to reach desired BACs. These alcohol influences were found to interact with loading-task demands and personality differences. Results are discussed in terms of driving sets established by the experimental subjects, and in terms of driving priorities determined in part by task demands.
