Abstract

Twenty woman, aged 17 to 29, drove over both an interstate highway course and a rural course in a car containing instrumentation that recorded drivers' steering wheel, accelerator, and brake movements as well as changes in forward acceleration and trip times. Results revealed that a 10-mile drive on the interstate course provided consistent measurement. Data from an 8-mile drive on the rural course were less consistent than those from the 10-mile drive on the interstate course, after which it was hypothesized that this might be due to driver fatigue.
